Eyeing UP, U'khand polls Rahul Gandhi to address rally in Aligarh, Almora, Sitarganj

Eyeing Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand assembly elections, Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi will address a rally in Aligarh and two rallies in Almora and Sitarganj on Thursday.

Speaking at a rally in Muradnagar yesterday, Gandhi accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of befooling people of the nation through fake promises and schemes.

Gandhi trained guns at Prime Minister Modi and said that the latter made fake promises like brining black money and crediting Rs.15 lakh in account of every Indian.

"Did Prime Minister Narendra Modi get the black money back? Has anyone got the 15 lakh Rupees as was promised by the Prime Minister?," said Gandhi.

Further in a sardonic attack, Gandhi said that the Prime Minister keeps on travelling abroad and has handed over the job of cleaning the nation to the citizens

"He is the first Prime Minister who kept on flying abroad and asked its citizens to clean the nation," said Gandhi.

Expressing confidence that Samajwadi Party-Congress alliance will form the next government in Uttar Pradesh, Gandhi exuded confidence and said there is a wave in favour of the alliance in the state.

Uttar Pradesh will go to polls in seven-phase between February 11 and March 8, while the elections in Uttarakhand will be held in single phase on February 15 and the results will be announced on March 11.
