District poll authorities in Hardoi, Uttar Pradesh, have issued a show-cause notice to RSS leader Indresh Kumar over his reported remarks that opposition leaders have mental problems.

"Opposition leaders have mental problems and they need to visit medical centres," he had said on Sunday while responding to SP leader Akhilesh Yadav's remarks that the BJP spreads hate.
