UP Government Vs Priyanka Gandhi Over The Stranded Migrants:- The other day, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra offered 1000 buses to take all the migrant workers home. In response to this, the government of Uttar Pradesh says that the Congress party says are completely unacceptable. After the letter penned by Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, a top government official asked the opposition party to hand over all the buses along with the driving licenses of the drivers and the fitness certificates in Uttar Pradesh's Lucknow by 10 AM. Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's private secretary Sandeep Singh says that it is a political move by the government and he questioned why is it necessary to hand over the buses in Lucknow instead of sending the migrant workers back home.
आदरणीय मुख्यमंत्री जी, मैं आपसे निवेदन कर रही हूँ, ये राजनीति का वक्त नहीं है। हमारी बसें बॉर्डर पर खड़ी हैं। हजारों श्रमिक, प्रवासी भाई बहन बिना खाये पिये, पैदल दुनिया भर की मुसीबतों को उठाते हुए अपने घरों की ओर चल रहे हैं। हमें इनकी मदद करने दीजिए। हमारी बसों को परमीशन दीजिए। pic.twitter.com/K2ldjDaSRd
