Lucknow (UP), October 04, 2025(ANI): Uttar Pradesh Assembly LoP Mata Prasad Pandey said, "A delegation led by me is going there (to Bareilly).... I was given a notice by the police, and the inspector told me I had to stay home and not leave. If the collector had written, I would have accepted it. Then, a letter came from the Bareilly DM. He also said that your arrival would spoil the atmosphere here, so you should not come here.... To hide their own shortcomings, they are not allowing us to go there. We will now talk to our party members and decide accordingly..."
