Yadav warned that a new and troubling form of democracy was emerging in Uttar Pradesh under the BJP rule.
Samajwadi Party state president, Naresh Uttam, has lodged a complaint alleging that fake information about the statements of SP president Akhilesh Yadav was being circulated from a few Twitter accounts.
