Lucknow: The political turmoil in Uttar Pradesh has intensified after the 6-phase elections. Now the entire focus of the political parties is on the seventh phase of polling. All the political parties are engaged in the struggle to woo Purvanchal. In the same sequence, former Congress president Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi visited Baba Kashi Vishwanath on Friday. The duo also offered prayers at the Kashi Vishwanath temple and a video of the same has also surfaced. 

A video of Rahul and Priyanka going to the temple before the worship has also gone viral on social media. In this video, both of them are seen walking on foot in the streets of Banaras. Both are surrounded by security personnel. After visiting Kashi Vishwanath, Rahul Gandhi has attacked PM Modi at a public meeting. Rahul Gandhi questioned the prime minister's intentions and asked that Narendra Modi has been the prime minister since 2014. After this, he promised employment, 2 crore jobs, doubling the income of farmers, ending black money. The PM had also talked about giving Rs 15 lakh. Now, what has happened that they are not talking about employment, jobs and farmers' income in this election? 

Congress national general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has been camping in Kabir Math in Kashi for the past two days. Earlier, Samajwadi Party (SP) national president Akhilesh Yadav had also shown his mettle in Kashi. He had held a public meeting a day earlier along with Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee and RLD chief Jayant Chaudhary. After this, he also held a roadshow at Bharat Mata Temple in the Sigra area.
