"Congress Door To Door Campaign In Moradabad Looked Like Roadshow," Says Police

FIR Has Been Filed against violation!

Ahead of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly Elections, several party leaders and members are gearing up with their visits and door-to-door campaigns or virtual rallies in the poll-bound state. 

Congress General secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra pays her visit to Uttar Pradesh's Moradabad area on Thursday to do a door-to-door campaign but a case has been registered by the Uttar Pradesh police after a 'roadshow like a situation' emerged during Congress Leader Rizwan Qureshi's campaigning in the Moradabad area.

According to the statement given By SP While speaking to media, the Moradabad Superintendent of Police (SP) Akhilesh Bhadoria said, "Congress candidate Rizwan had taken permission for a door-to-door campaign but it was seen that a roadshow-like situation had emerged with people. As per the Sector Magistrate's complaint, a case has been registered."

According to the statement given to ANI, Rizwan questioned the action of the police and said why no FIR was registered against the Bharatiya Janata Party in the state despite holding several election campaigns and also pointed to the rallies carried out by Home Minister Amit Shah and deputy chief minister of Uttar Pradesh Dinesh Handa.

Adding more, Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Dinesh Sharma held a door-to-door meeting a few days ago.

In Meerut, Union Home Minister Amit Shah held door-to-door campaigns, why no FIR against them? Not our mistake if people welcome us with unconditional love during the door-to-door campaigns. BJP is scared, which is why this politics is happening," questioned Qureshi.

The Uttar Pradesh assembly election will be held in a seven-phase Assembly.  The first phase of the polling took place yesterday (February 10). 

The second phase of polling for the state Assembly is scheduled for February 14 and the counting of votes will take place on March 10.
