Prayagraj: The Kayastha Pathshala Trust has revoked permission for Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Chhatron Ki Goonj’ programme, scheduled to be held at KP Ground here on August 8, citing an Allahabad High Court order.
On Wednesday, Uttar Pradesh Congress president Ajay Rai visited Prayagraj to review preparations for the event.
Rai asserted that Gandhi will come to Prayagraj on August 8 and interact with students despite the KP Trust revoking permission for the venue.
Addressing reporters in the evening, Rai urged the state government and district administration to provide an alternative venue for the programme.
He alleged that the BJP government was “afraid” of Gandhi and claimed the event was being obstructed for political reasons.
