BJP's jibe at Rahul's UP plans after Beni is booed

February 02, 2012 16:13

A day after Union Minister Beni Prasad Verma faced the ire of voters at a poll rally, Bharatiya Janata Party on Thursday questioned how Rahul Gandhi would fulfill the promise of changing UP in five years when Congress leaders like Verma were being booed in their own parliamentary constituencies.

"Rahul Gandhi is promising development in all his meetings throughout the state but how is it possible with his ministers of the stature of Steel Minister Beni Prasad Verma being hooted and not being allowed to speak in their own parliamentary constituencies," senior BJP leader Kalraj Misra told PTI.

"How would the Congress and Rahul Gandhi be able to fulfill such a promise," Misra said, adding that though Congress is claiming itself to be the strongest party in the state, it is its leaders who are facing the maximum opposition.
