Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and Samajwadi Party (SP) president Akhilesh Yadav on Sunday rushed out of a public meeting in Prayagraj after a ruckus broke out and a stampede-like situation led to a likely security threat. The two opposition leaders who left the meeting without addressing the crowd held a conversation, adding their mike was not working and it was not possible to hold the meeting. In the conversation, both leaders discussed issues of unemployment, inflation and shared their vision for the country. “If they [the BJP] come to power again, they may bring such a law which will take away the rights of our farmers. They have not only cheated the farmers but also our youth, women, government employees and other sections of society,” said Mr. Yadav, in the conversation. Mr. Gandhi targeted the BJP for neglecting the poor, adding the Narendra Modi-led government was working for the selected capitalist elite and done great harm to the nation in all spheres, from economy, social and democratic/constitutional. “Paper leaks of recruitment examinations are rampant here [Uttar Pradesh],” said the Congress leader.
