Adityanath govt destroying democracy: Priyanka

General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra here on Friday said Yogi Adityanath government is destroying democracy in Uttar Pradesh and questioned the appreciation certificate given by PM Narendra Modi to him on fighting Covid.

Earlier in the day, she sat on a silent protest in front of a Mahatma Gandhi statue against the BJP government in the state. Priyanka told reporters that the PM congratulated Adityanath for the panchayat polls, in which the BJP ”unleashed violence”.

”Your police were kidnapping candidates. Nomination papers were being torn. Women candidates were being beaten up. Their clothes were being pulled. In all districts, officials were threatened,” she alleged.

”The Uttar Pradesh government itself is spreading chaos. It is doing this because in the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, they totally failed, and the prime minister is giving certificates to Yogiji,” the Congress general secretary said, adding that democracy is under threat in the state.
