Banda (Uttar Pradesh):Pickpockets have a field day, thanks to a training camp organised by Samajwadi Party in Banda in Uttar Pradesh. However, five pickpockets have been caught by SP workers when they grew suspicious of their movements. According to the police, a two-day workers' training camp of the Samajwadi Party has begun in Banda on Wednesday. SP chief Akhilesh Yadav had come here to attend the two-day training camp. As soon as Akhilesh Yadav alighted from his car at Circuit House on Wednesday evening, a crowd of workers gathered around his vehicle to accord him a warm welcome.
