In first UP rally, Rahul targets PM in Amethi: ‘Speaks lies’

Urging people to vote for the Congress candidates, Rahul told them that they have seen how the BJP, SP and BSP allegedly “looted” them when they came to power.

Alleging that the BJP dispensation failed to provide jobs to the people, Rahul urged voters to trust him this time, adding they did not believe his statements during the Covid pandemic, and the “result was that they had to see bodies floating in Ganga later”.

Rahul also accused the BJP of allegedly “stealing” Congress governments in states like Madhya Pradesh, Goa and Arunachal Pradesh.

In her speech, Priyanka reminded locals how Amethi was once represented by her brother, her mother Sonia Gandhi and her father late Rajiv Gandhi, and how units of major public companies like BHEL and HAL were set up in the area during the Congress regimes. She alleged that nothing happened in Amethi in the past 5 years except “other parties seeking their votes in the name of religion and caste”.
