Akhilesh Yadav not allowed to leave home over farmers agitation

Lucknow: Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav was not allowed to come out of his residence on Monday morning when he was scheduled to go to Kannauj to join the Kisan Yatra.

Hundred of SP workers and leaders were arrested by police when they tried to march towards the residence of the party president on Vikramaditya Marg in the state capital.

Akhilesh Yadav was not allowed to come out of his house as the Kannauj authorities have refused to give permission for the Kisan March in support of the farmers agitation against the new farm law.
