Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Sunday continued his spate of attacks on the Congress amid tension between the INDIA bloc partners over seat distribution in Madhya Pradesh, as he called the latter a “chalu” (cheat) party. Addressing a public meeting in the poll-bound state, Yadav said if the party could “cheat” him, it can cheat the masses. “Nobody is getting anything in ration…Then why would you vote BJP…don’t even vote for the Congress…Congress is a very chalu (cheat) party… will you be careful or not? If Congress can cheat us, it can cheat any one,” he said in Tikamgarh. He also attacked the Congress over its demand of a nation-wide caste census. “Their vote base shifted to the BJP… they are demanding caste-based census for vote bank… we are standing with you because we want you to get social justice,” he added.

Richa Chadha is no stranger to trolls. Now, in an interview on the YouTube channel Jist, the actor has defended her Sarbjit co-star Aishwarya Rai from the incessant trolling she faces, particularly for her fashion choices at the Cannes Film Festival.
