Youth Cong workers protest against Priyanka Gandhi's detention

Youth Congress activists, including women, staged a protest here Saturday against the detention of party leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra in Uttar Pradesh on July 19 when she insisted on going to Sonbhadra where 10 people were gunned down this week.

The activists, led by its Telananga unit president M Anil Kumar Yadav, burnt an effigy of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath outside Gandhi Bhavan in the city, the party's headquarters in Telangana.

They raised slogans against Adityanath, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP.

AICC incharge of party affairs in Telangana R C Khuntia alleged that the "arrest" of Priyanka Gandhi Vadra is undemocratic.

Adityanath is ruling UP like a "dictator", he alleged, adding that people would teach the BJP regime a lesson. PTI SJR
