In a post on Twitter, Akhilesh Yadav also tagged a photograph of the two ministers during a programme of Uttar Pradesh's ruling BJP. Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Saturday took a swipe at Union Home Minister Amit Shah for sharing a dais with his junior colleague Ajay Mishra, under a cloud over the recent violence in Lakhimpur Kheri in which eight people were killed. In a post on Twitter, Mr. Yadav also tagged a photograph of the two ministers during a programme of Uttar Pradesh's ruling BJP here on Friday. Some farmers claimed that Ashish Mishra was in one of the vehicles that ran down the four farmers, an allegation denied by him and his father. Opposition parties, including the SP and the Congress, have demanded the dismissal of Ajay Mishra.
