Gonda SP Leader Jaychandra Singh Burns Gyanesh Kumar Effigy Despite House Arrests

In Gonda, district vice-president Jaychandra Singh, along with his associates, burnt an effigy of Gyanesh Kumar near the Ambedkar intersection, close to the District Magistrate’s office. The incident reportedly took place without the police getting any information.

The development came at a time when almost all leaders and workers in the district had been placed under house arrest. Despite this, Jaychandra Singh reached the Ambedkar intersection with his supporters and carried out the effigy-burning protest.

Samajwadi Party leader Suraj Singh praised the workers, saying, “शाबाश!” He said the administration could deploy police at every corner and place leaders and workers under house arrest, but “the volcano can erupt from anywhere.”

The demand for Gyanesh Kumar’s resignation is reportedly being raised across India. Gyanesh Kumar has also been accused of vote theft in the Assembly election held recently. The allegation was made by officials working under him, who also said that it was not possible to work under his leadership.

Jaychandra Singh, Mangli Yadav, Dr Asif Parvez, Vishal Nirbheek, Meraj Ahmad, Sachin Satyendra, Shivam and Aman burnt the effigy of the Chief Election Commissioner while raising the slogan, “वोट चोर गद्दी छोड़”.
