Eight people were killed on Sunday as violence erupted during a farmers' protest, claiming the lives of both farmers and BJP workers ahead of a visit to Lakhimpur by Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya, officials said. Two SUVs were set on fire by angry farmers in the clash near Banbirpur in Lakhimpur Kheri. Four of the victims were people in the cars --- reportedly a part of the group of BJP workers that had come to welcome the minister – who were thrashed to death by the protesters, according to officials. The four others were farmers, they said.
