New Delhi: In Uttar Pradesh, the fourth phase of polling for assembly elections will be held on Wednesday. Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi today held an election rally in Lucknow's Sarojini Nagar assembly seat before campaigning subsided.
Priyanka Gandhi, meanwhile, targeted the BJP government and said, "They talk about religion, Pakistan & terrorism, but won't talk about the terror of unemployment & inflation. People don't have money for food & they divert our mind towards religion & Pakistan."
The Congress general secretary said that when the elections are coming, free announcements are being made. But when the election is gone, there is no ration or money. The job of the government is to make the people self-reliant. Government should answer for what it's doing for this. What is the government doing for the future of the youth? Government should talk about recruitment.
Voting will be held on 23 February in Sarojini Nagar assembly seat of Lucknow.
BJP has cut off Swati Singh's ticket from here this time and given it to Rajeshwar Singh.
Babloo Singh from the Congress is in the fray, while the BSP has given a ticket to Jalis Khan to win with the help of Muslim and Dalit vote banks. Professor Abhishek Mishra is fighting on behalf of the SP.
