Set the comrades free, Sign the deal 123…

Apparently, the message from the top hadn’t reached the Congress’s farm wing, All India Kisaan and Khet Mazdoor Sangh, preparing for an agitation in UP from October 23. Posters targeting the Left were ready to be printed by the hundreds, their message clear: Comradon ko kar do free, sandhi kar lo 123. Sarkar jaye? To jaye. On Thursday, secretary of the cell Bhola Pandey was happily showing blueprints of these posters to visitors at AICC. By the evening, however, he was in denial mode. “Actually, farmers from UP brought these posters to me. Our cell is not directly involved.”
