Congress Rallies Cancelled In Up

Congress leader and Uttar Pradesh party General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi on Saturday said that Congress has cancelled its election rallies due to the increase in COVID-19 cases.

The Congress on Wednesday postponed all political rallies and events in poll-bound states, including Uttar Pradesh, citing the worsening Covid situation and growing alarm that these - which draw crowds of thousands - could become super-spreaders.

After the cancellation of election rallies of Congress president Rahul Gandhi and his sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra in western Uttar Pradesh, party leaders have accused the district administration of favouring the ruling dispensation of the state while asserting that they will approach the Election Commission in this regard.

Congress President Rahul Gandhi and party General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's rally in Saharanpur on Monday was cancelled due to bad weather.

After Congress party chief Sonia Gandhi cancelled her Mumbai tour, citing health reasons, the party received a double whammy as NCP president Sharad Pawar also did not show up at the joint rally, where party vice president Rahul Gandhi was asked to don the mantle.
