Socialist movement under threat from BJP's promotion of capitalism: Akhilesh

LUCKNOW: (Jan 22) Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav on Thursday said the growing influence of capitalists, a reference to the BJP, posed a challenge to socialist ideals.

He said capitalism has captured the media, and urged journalists to "not run anyone's agenda".

Yadav made the remarks after paying floral tributes to socialist leader Janeshwar Mishra at his statue on the occasion of his death anniversary. Party office-bearers and workers in large numbers were at the Janeshwar Mishra Park here for the ceremony.
