Launching a scathing attack on Samajwadi Party (SP), Union Minister Anurag Thakur on January 16 said that the MLAs of their party are either in jail or on bail. His remarks came when former IPS officer Asim Arun joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Lucknow on January 16 in his presence. “People joining SP do riots, people joining BJP catch rioters. SP MLAs are either in jail or on bail, that's their original game. It's clear people with clean characters join BJP, and rioters including many with blood-covered hands join SP,” he said.
