Uttar Pradesh: The Congress party will launch a campaign against the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Uttar Pradesh in a bid to step up an attack ahead of the 2022 assembly elections. The ‘Bhajapa Gaddi Chordo Abhiyaan (BJP, leave the seat of power)’ is being launched on the anniversary of the start of the ‘Quit India movement’.
Under the campaign, Congress will hold various demonstrations including the marches at all assembly constituencies over issues such as price rise, unemployment, farmers’ “plight” and the law and order situation.
On August 9, 1942, the Quit India Movement was launched under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi which resulted in freedom of the country from British rule five years later on August 15, 1947.
According to a report by news agency PTI, the Congress will undertake a march for about 5 kilometres through the main market of each assembly segment. During the march, the Congress workers will also raise slogans like ‘BJP Gaddi Chhorho’.
Various responsibilities have been entrusted to state unit office bearers to ensure the success of the campaign, PTI also reported. Hindustan Times
