The Uttar Pradesh police on Saturday arrested two persons and named six others allegedly associated with the Samajwadi Party on the charge of dumping potatoes outside the Vidhan Sabha and the residence of the Chief Minister recently.

The police said the potatoes were not thrown by distressed farmers; it was a politically motivated act. The police are on the lookout for six other accused, who they said were the “conspirators.”
