BJP will win only one constituency in Uttar Pradesh : Rahul

Alleging that the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) wanted to replace the Constitution, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Sunday said the party would be restricted to just one seat in Uttar Pradesh in the ongoing Lok Sabha polls.

Addressing a joint rally at Mungari in Prayagraj, they also flayed the BJP over unemployment and farmers’ income.

“The BJP led by Narendra Modi is winning only one seat in Uttra Pradesh. That is Kyoto (referring to Varanasi, which PM Modi had said he would develop Kyoto-style),” said Gandhi, who campaigned for Ujjawal Raman Singh, the Congress candidate for Allahabad parliamentary seat.

“This fight is for the Constitution, which is under attack by the BJP and the RSS. I want to tell them that the Constitution of Dr Ambedkar, Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru cannot be destroyed by any power…” he told an enthusiastic crowd.

“Like ‘samudra manthan’ (‘churning of oceans’ as mentioned in Hindu religious texts), this time we will have ‘samvidhan manthan’. While on one side there are people who want to end the Constitution, on the other are people like you and I who want to save it,” Akhilesh said.

“BJP wale hamari aur apki jaan aur samvidhan ke piche pade hain. (The BJP is after our lives and the Constitution),” he claimed.

Targeting the central government over farmers’ income, he said the promise of doubling farmers’ income remained unfulfilled. “One lakh farmers committed suicide under the rule of the BJP government. The BJP used every tactic to crush the movement of farmers but failed.”
