Bhim Army chief Chandrashekhar Azad launches 'Azad Samaj Party'

New Delhi: Bhim Army chief Chandra Shekhar Azad launched his political outfit the Azad Samaj Party on Sunday — the birth anniversary of BSP founder Kanshi Ram.

Before launching his party at an event held in Noida, the 37-year-old Dalit leader made Kanshi Ram's photograph his Twitter profile picture. He also launched the party flag — a white band between two blue strips with Azad Samaj Party written in the middle.

Azad said the Bhim Army will run parallel to the party and continue to fight for Dalit rights and enrol new members.
