SP allowed mining, harassed tribals of Sonbhadra: Shah

Addressing four poll rallies in Robertsganj, the district headquarters of Sonbhadra, the tribal district of eastern UP, and also in Deorai, Ballia and Maharajganj, Shah concluded the day with a roadshow in Ghazipur, the bastion of Ansari brothers.
