LUCKNOW: The Congress' Uttar Pradesh chief Ajay Rai, state in-charge Avinash Pande and several other protesting leaders and workers were detained on Wednesday as they tried to leave the party office here for their planned siege of the state assembly during the ongoing Winter Session.
"We will throw out the Yogi government from power in 2027," Rai told reporters from a bus after police detained him amid heightened security measures in the state capital to thwart the Congress protest.
The opposition party was protesting against the UP government over issues like farmer distress, unemployment, inflation, privatisation and law and order. Barricades were set up around the Assembly premises to prevent Congress workers from reaching the protest site, while route diversions severely impacted traffic movement in the heart of the city.
