UP Congress President

UP Congress President Ajay Rai said the workers will "gherao" the Vidhan Sabha today adding that no one will be able to stop them.

"No one will be able to stop our party workers--they are the party workers of Congress and Rahul Gandhi. They will do the 'gherao' of Vidhan Sabha. They (the state government) have destroyed the entire state, and we will hold them accountable for that. We are Gandhian and will oppose the government in that way," Rai said.

"They are seizing the vehicles

"They are seizing the vehicles of our party workers and committing atrocities against them. I want to say that we will come into the government and withdraw all such cases against our party workers," he said.

"There are pointed spears installed here. These spears will hurt our workers seriously. This is happening for the first time. This government wants to kill our workers... The way the farmers were stopped at the Ghazipur border, our workers are being stopped. But we will enter the Vidhan Sabha even after all of this," he added. (With Agency Inputs)
