Lucknow, April 22 (IANS) The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Friday said it would organise a run in various parts of Uttar Pradesh from next week to make people aware of the ‘corrupt practices’ of the ruling Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP).
‘The run, which is aimed at exposing the corrupt practices of the BSP government before the masses, would take place from April 25 to May 15,’ BJP spokesperson in the state Vijay Pathak told reporters.
