Congress general secretary begins tour of State with a silent dharna
Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Friday questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s praise for Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s handling of the second wave of COVID-19 and his development model. Addressing journalists at the U.P. Congress headquarters after arriving in the State capital for a scheduled three-day visit, Ms. Vadra pointed out that on Thursday, the PM had handed out a “certificate” to Mr. Adityanath for his good handling of the second wave and for establishing “vikasvad” in the State. “I want to ask what kind of vikasvad is this that when the second wave of the corona[virus pandemic] was going on, you held the Panchayat polls. How many people got inflected with corona then and how many teachers died due to corona? But you still held the Panchayat polls,” Ms. Vadra said of Mr. Adityanath.More Related News
