Locked in a bitter war of words with Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on the issue of running buses to ferry migrants home, Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Wednesday recalled the buses she had arranged for migrants after the Congress waited till 4 pm for Uttar Pradesh to allow them in.
The Congress said it had lined up hundreds of buses at Delhi’s border since morning. However, the UP Government found fault in the list of buses as many were found to be autos and ambulances.
“If you want to use it then please do so and use the BJP flags, otherwise, they will be sent back but the Congress and its workers will continue to help the migrants with food and all possible help,” she said, speaking shortly before the “4 pm deadline”.
Terming as “shameless” the politics of the BJP and Yogi Adityanath over the issue of providing buses for ferrying migrants to the State, Congress spokesperson Abhishek Singhvi alleged the “Ajay Bisht Government” is creating hurdles in the Congress help reaching migrants in terms of buses for ferrying them home as they walk on the roads without food and water in the summer heat of May. Ajay Bisht is the real name of Yogi Adityanath.
