Rae Bareli: A day after an alleged attack on Rae Bareli MLA Aditi Singh, Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra slammed the state government and local administration, terming the incident an attack on democracy.
“This is an attack on democracy. Nothing of this sort has ever happened in Rae Bareli. Country-made weapons, bricks and lathis were used in the attack. Zila panchayat members were dragged from their vehicles,” Priyanka Gandhi alleged.
She also alleged that one of the zila panchayat members was run over by a vehicle. “What kind of democracy is this? It is the BJP government in the state when such incidents are taking place while the entire administration is sitting idle,” she said after a meeting with party workers here.
Priyanka Gandhi maintained that the party would raise the issue at every level. “Our leaders are meeting the Governor in Lucknow.
In Delhi, we are meeting the Election Commission. We will take legal recourse and file a complaint against the local administration if required,” she said. She said they had told the administration that something of this kind could take place but precautionary measures were not taken. (PTI)
