If these people are criminals or not? Thats for the law to decide. The court has not yet absolved them of all charges then how can they be given tickets? This is clear violation of EC guidelines.
Mulayam was holding on to Ansari. Akhilesh has swung the whip and removed the thugs in SP. His credibility goes up. BJP can learn a lesson and discourage the thugs in their party. Otherwise, they are just comparable to BSP.
