Rahul holds ‘Janata Durbar’ in Amethi

Hundreds of people have been thronging the Munshiganj guest house since Saturday morning and have queued up to meet their local MP. Meanwhile, Congress Rajya Sabha member Dr Sanjay Singh, who met the party vice-president in the morning, said Gandhi has directed the leaders of the state to start preparing for the Uttar Pradesh assembly polls. 

Talking to reporters outside the guest house, Mr Singh said, “BJP through the JNU issue was trying to polarise the country on the name of Hindus and Muslims.” 

“After BJP’s defeat in the Bihar and Delhi assembly polls and in the local bodies poll in Gujarat and Maharashtra, the party was now conspiring to divide the nation on the name of Hindus and Muslims,” he alleged.
