Ahead of the next year’s Assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh, the Congress’ general secretary Priyanka Gandhi reached Gorakhpur to address a pratigya rally on Sunday. The pratigya rally is a series of rallies being held by the Uttar Pradesh Congress across the state.

Her visit comes on the occasion of the 37th death anniversary of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and the 146th birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel.

The cut-outs of former PM Indira Gandhi and Iron Man of India Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel were seen at the venue of Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi’s pratigya rally.

Speaking at the rally in Gorakhpur, Gandhi hit out at Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath alleging that Dalits, OBCs, Brahmins and others have been exploited under the BJP government. The Yogi-Adityanath government is working against the teachings of Guru Gorakhnath, she said.

Gandhi also hit out at the BJP accusing them of selling the assets built over the last 70 years. The Congress established the railways, airports and roads whereas the BJP is selling them, she said.

Since October, Priyanka Gandhi has paid Uttar Pradesh visit several times amid Lakhimpur Kheri violence and the death of a person in Agra custody.

In her speech, Gandhi also targeted Uttar Pradesh’s major political parties including Akhilesh Yadav-led Samajwadi Party and Mayawati’s Dalit outfit BSP on a range of issues like Covid and unemployment. Where were these parties during the times of struggle, she asked the Samajwadi Party and the BSP. Only Congress has always extended its fullest support to the people of Uttar Pradesh, she said.

In her speech, Gandhi denied allegations of Congress working in collusion with the BJP for the UP polls. She will die but never ever kind of relationship with BJP, she said. She also announced that if the Congress came to power in Uttar Pradesh, 20 lakh youths would be given jobs, women would get the facility of free bus travel and fishing would be given the status of farming.

PM Modi

In the aftermath of the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam that claimed 26 lives last week, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lead a series of crucial meetings tomorrow to review India’s security preparedness.

The Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS), the nation’s apex body for national security decisions, is scheduled to convene around 11 am. This will be the second high-level review since the tragic incident in Jammu and Kashmir.

Following the CCS meeting, the Cabinet Committee on Political Affairs (CCPA), chaired by the Prime Minister, will also gather to discuss political and strategic issues. Senior leaders, including Defense Minister Rajnath Singh, Home Minister Amit Shah, Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari, Health Minister JP Nadda, and Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, will participate in the deliberations.

Later, the Cabinet’s Economic Affairs Committee will meet, culminating in a full cabinet session.

During the previous CCS meeting, held two days after the attack, the government placed security forces across the country on heightened alert and vowed strict action against those responsible. Measures taken included suspending the Indus Water Treaty with Pakistan, halting SAARC visas, closing the Wagah-Attari border, and downgrading diplomatic ties with Islamabad.

Additionally, Pakistani nationals residing in India were asked to return to their country, with a slight extension given to those holding medical visas until Tuesday. In retaliation, Pakistan announced the suspension of all bilateral agreements with India, including the historic Simla Agreement.

As tensions between the two countries escalate, tomorrow’s meetings are expected to chart the next course of action amid rising security concerns.
