New Delhi: As campaigning for the sixth phase of the crucial Uttar Pradesh elections is coming to an end on Thursday, Congress launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi for using rhetoric and jumlas which mislead the countrymen.
Speaking at an election rally at Ghonda on February 24, Modi had claimed that the Kanpur train accident was an “act of terror’’ even though Congress claim-ed that director general Railways told railway minister Suresh Prabhu and authorities via video conferencing that there was no sabotage.
Election campaign for UP polls is on the last stage. Now the Congress is also planning to rope in its new entrant and cricketer-turned-politician Navjot Singh Sidhu. Interestingly, in the Uttarakhand Assembly elections also Sidhu was one of the most sought after campaigners by the Cong-ress candidates.
Though he was slated to campaign the Terai areas of Uttarakhand, he could not make it because of prior engagements. The Congress is now hopeful that Sidhu will be able to give some time in UP as the party feels that he remains a crowd puller.
