The Samajwadi-Party promised pension for anti-CAA protesters if voted to power, drawing a-sharp-reaction from the ruling BJP who said it was in the "DNA of that party to honour rioters and anti-social". Leader of the Opposition in the Uttar-Pradesh Legislative-Assembly, Ram Govind Chaudhary, said their party would also give compensation to the kin of those jailed or killed during anti-CAA protests in the state.
