Uttar Pradesh Congress strongly criticised the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Wednesday over different issues. Uttar Pradesh Congress President Ajay Rai announced that a ‘Samvidhan Samvad Mahapanchayat ’ will be held on February 8th at Shastri Ghat near Varuna Bridge in Varanasi.
Speaking at his camp office in Lahurabir, Rai alleged that the situation in the country and the state has become such that common people, farmers, women, and people from all sections of society are troubled. ”The Prime Minister of the country has bowed down before America. Rahul Gandhi is being prevented from speaking about the book he is referring to. The Speaker in Parliament is not allowing the Leader of the Opposition to speak,” he claimed.
He said people of Varanasi will gather at Shastri Ghat on February 8 to discuss these issues. Five MPs and members of the Congress national leadership will also participate. ”The agreement that Narendra Modi ji is celebrating and beating drums about was made while bowing down to America. Now they will get oil from Venezuela. Does America have influence here?” he asked.
The five MPs include Imran Masood from Saharanpur, Rajesh Rathore from Sitapur, Ujjwal Raman Singh from Prayagraj, Kishori Lal from Amethi, and Tanuj Punia from Barabanki, along with several other leaders.
He said the Uttar Pradesh government has announced an inquiry into madrassas, but there should also be an inquiry into the massive funding and gold offerings at the Gorakhnath Peeth. He further charged that children are losing their lives due to online gaming, and questioned who was responsible for this. ”Private jobs are disappearing, and under this pressure, children are turning to gaming. Who is responsible for the deaths of the three girls?”
Rai further said, ”The idols that were broken at Manikarnika Ghat – where did they go? A false narrative was spread that the video was generated using AI. The government should tell the truth about where the idols went. Every issue will be raised at the conference on February 8th, and several major revelations will be made that day.” He alleged that the country was being mortgaged to the US, benefiting the Gujarat lobby.
”Land was being seized in several places in Varanasi without compensation. Land near the Ganjari Stadium was being given to people from Gujarat,” he claimed further.
