Since Wednesday's event coincided with BR Ambedkar's birth
anniversary, Rahul Gandhi wanted to start the proceedings by
garlanding a nearby statue of Ambedkar. But since the BSP had put up
pandals around the statue, he garlanded a photo of Ambedkar and
Mahatma Gandhi placed on the stage.
Maya's up in the air survey
Contrary to expectations, Chief Minister Mayawati chose not to visit
Ambedkarnagar, where the BSP had organised a parallel rally as part of
its state-wide protests against the Women's Reservation Bill. Instead,
she took off in a helicopter and made an aerial survey of the BSP
protests in some districts.
Diggy missing
All five Congress Union ministers from UP, most MPs and almost all
senior leaders were present on Wednesday's rally. Digvijay Singh, AICC
general secretary in-charge of UP, who is reportedly in the US on a
personal visit, was missing.
Black flag protests
During Rahul Gandhi's speech, a few men got up and began waving black
flags, shouting "Rahul Gandhi murdabad". The Congressmen beat them up
and then handed them over to the police. The men told the police that
they were from the Akhil Bharatiya Hindu Mahasabha and were protesting
against the implementation of the Sacchar Committee recommendations.
