Similar chaos and misbehavior in Meerut and Jhansi

A marathon event organized by the Congress party at Kailash Prakash stadium in Meerut on 20th December 2021 was heavily criticized by several women who claimed prejudice while announcing the names of the winners. They also claimed that there was undue delay and mismanagement.

A group of girls chanted Modi-Modi and Yogi-Yogi at a marathon-cum-rally of Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi in Jhansi on December 26. Several footages of the girls at the Congress rally chanting slogans in support of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath went popular on social media.

Shweta Bhattacharya, Journalist, Times Now, said in a tweet that Congress workers misbehaved with the girls that led to the chants of Modi-Yogi at the rally. “These pictures are of Priyanka Gandhi’s Marathon in Jhansi! when Congressmen misbehaved with them, the girls told them “Ladki hain lad sakti hain” and protested against Congress by raising slogans Modi-Modi, Yogi-Yogi,” she spoke.

It’s important noting that BJP politician Priti Gandhi uploaded a video showing the girls being abused. She went on Twitter to pen, “On one hand, @priyankagandhi Ji, you raise slogans of women empowerment, and on the other hand, your workers beat up girls in your program!! Very shameful incident!!”

In Uttar Pradesh, the Congress, which has been reduced to a non-player, is trying to woo the women voters by portraying itself to be conscious of gender equality. Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra first gave the “ladki hun, lad sakti hun” election slogan last month. The Assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh are scheduled to be held in the coming months.
