New Delhi: After the decision of the government of Tamil Nadu to release the seven persons convicted in killing of former PM Rajiv Gandhi, Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi asked on Wednesday that if the killers of the former Prime Minister of this country are being released, what kind of justice the common man should expect.
During the visit of his constituency Amethi, Rahul Gandhi addressed a gathering in Jagdishpur and said, “It’s not about my father. I am sad the killers of a PM are being freed.”
Notify that Rahul Gandhi had faces the threat of AAP leader Kumar Vishwas and stressed the “close ties” between Amethi and the Gandhi family, a day after Vishwas evoked his father Rajiv Gandhi to seek local support.
Gandhi toured villages in his constituency, where he held chaupals and heard the concerns of locals. He flayed the UP government for not implementing the Food Security Act in the State, while also blaming the Samajwadi Party for the poor infrastructure, bad roads and power crisis in his constituency. The centre was provided sufficient funds but the State was not doing the necessary work, he said.
The poet-turned-politician has also intensified his campaign against Rahul Gandhi with the launch of a ‘Jhaddu Yatra.’ In a bid to connect with voters, he has begun a 42-day door-to-door padhyatra across the 1,200 villages of the seat.
Kumar Vishwas is fighting on the issue of “development,” and has promised locals that if elected he will focus on the reopening of closed factories in the rural constituency and direct trains to Allahabad. He has also challenged Rahul Gandhi for an open debate.
AAP’s convenor of Amethi Hanuman Singh said, Vishwas is living with the villagers and has given his workers clear instructions to stay in the houses of non-AAP workers.
