Varanasi: UP Congress Committee president Ajay Rai said on Wednesday his party would be holding a ‘Constitution dialogue rally’ at Shastri Ghat here on Feb 8. He said the purpose of the rally was to protect Kashi’s identity, faith, culture and constitutional values. He alleged that in the past few years, politics was played in the name of development of Kashi. At the proposed rally, he said, several serious and public interest issues related to Kashi would be raised, including irregularities related to Manikarnika Ghat, insult to seer Avimukteshwaranand, corruption in MNREGA, rapidly increasing unemployment, inflation and issues like drains continuously falling into the holy Ganga, said Rai. He alleged sewers were blocked throughout the city, filth was flowing on the roads and common life was hit, while authorities had turned a blind-eye to the issues.
