Greater Noida: Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi, who has been sitting along with the protesting farmers, has been arrested by Uttar Pradesh, says media reports.

The state police whisked away the Congress leader as a preventive measure and sources say he will be dropped off at the DND flyover.

Rahul Gandhi was sitting with the farmers since 4 am and was talking to the villagers about their ordeal. He, along with other Congress leaders, had planned to sit through the night. Sources said this was being seen as Rahul Gandhi taking on Mayawati on her home turf yet again.

Congress has slammed the Mayawati government for Rahul Gandhi’s arrest. Party leader and Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee President (UPCC) Rita Bahuguna Joshi has said this is an “act of cowardice”.

She said that Mr Rahul Gandhi had come to listen to the grievances of the farmers and there was no politics involved. Congress has also said that Rahul Gandhi’s arrest will not stop them and their agitation will continue.
