The Supreme Court has declined a plea of Union Minister Ajay Mishra Teni seeking to transfer the Uttar Pradesh government's appeal challenging his acquittal in a 22-year-old murder case from High Court's Lucknow bench to the Allahabad bench.
Union Minister Ajay Mishra Teni, who is facing backlash over his son's alleged involvement in the Lakhimpur Kheri violence calls farmer leader Rakesh Tikait a "Do Kaudi Ka Aadmi" in a video shared on microblogging sites.
The former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister also demanded Rs 2 crores as ex-gratia and government jobs for the next of kin of the farmers who died in the Lakhimpur Kheri incident.
