Rahul Gandhi reiterated the promises made by the Congress and appealed to vote for the party's candidate. "We are going to make a law for an MSP of farm produce and we will also provide support to the unemployed youth," he added
"We will throw the Agniveer scheme into the garbage and provide recruitment in the armed forces as it used to be done before," Rahul Gandhi said
Speaking before Gandhi, Akhilesh Yadav alleged that the BJP is after people's lives and the Constitution. "The BJP put our lives in danger with the Covid vaccine and now wants to destroy the Constitution," Yadav said
