Tensions rose during Congress MP Rahul Gandhi’s visit to Raebareli as BJP workers staged a protest, blocking his convoy. Gandhi, on a two-day tour of his parliamentary constituency, faced stiff opposition from BJP activists chanting “Rahul Gandhi Haye Haye” and accusing him of neglecting local issues. The protest intensified when BJP members sat on the road, forcing Gandhi’s convoy to stop temporarily. Protesters carried party flags and demanded accountability from the Congress leader. Despite the disruption, Rahul Gandhi proceeded with his scheduled programs. The incident underscores rising political tensions in Uttar Pradesh, especially with elections approaching. It also reflects the increased political polarization between the BJP and Congress in key battleground constituencies.
