"This time the election is going to be against the collection of donations. The encounter was shown by overturning the car. Elections are going to be held against the way murders are taking place in jails and police stations," he said.
"The question is that in a democracy, will you send any person holding the post of Chief Minister to jail by filing false cases? Will you not accept the decision of the Cabinet? If anyone is weakening the institutions then it is the Bharatiya Janata Party," the SP chief said.
