Varanasi: The Lakhimpur Kheri violence that left eight people, including four farmers, has snowballed into a major political issue in the politics of poll-bound Uttar Pradesh. The Congress on Friday is addressing a "Kisan Nyay" rally in Varanasi on Sunday.
According to the poster of the rally to be addressed by Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra in the parliamentary constituency of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the party has given the slogan of "chalo Banaras".
Addressing the rally, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said, "Last week, the son of Union MoS (Home) mowed down 6 farmers with his vehicle. Families of all the victims said they want justice but all of you have seen that the Government is shielding the ministerand his son".
"The CM is shielding the minister from the public forum. PM came to Lucknow to see the performance of 'Uttam Pradesh' and Azaadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav but couldn't go to Lakhimpur Kheri to share the grief of the victim families," she said.
"PM Modi called the protesting farmers 'Andolanjivi' and terrorists. Yogi Ji called them hooligans and tried to threaten them. The same minister (Ajay Kumar Mishra) said that he would make the protesting farmers fall in line within two minutes".
Modi Ji bought two aircraft for himself for Rs 16,000 crores last year. He sold the entire Air India of this country for just Rs 18,000 crores to this billionaire friends.
