New Delhi: The Congress office in Uttar Pradesh’s Amethi was attacked at around midnight on Sunday. Unidentified miscreants vandalised dozens of vehicles parked outside, created chaos and fled the spot soon after. Police took cognisance of the matter after rushing to the scene and launched an investigation. A case has been registered against unknown persons based on a complaint, India Today reported.

Taking to X, Congress shared a video which showed car windows smashed and glass pieces lying scattered on the ground. The party blamed the BJP for resorting to violence, fearing defeat in Amethi. They also mentioned Smriti Irani, BJP’s Lok Sabha Amethi candidate.

“Frustrated by the defeat they saw, BJP goons armed with sticks and rods reached outside the Congress office in Amethi and vandalised vehicles parked there. There has been a deadly attack on Congress workers and people of Amethi. Many people are badly injured in this attack. During the incident, the vehicles of local people were also damaged. The police administration remained a mute spectator during the entire incident. This incident is a witness that BJP is going to lose badly in Amethi,” Congress’s tweet, translated from Hindi, read.

“Vehicles parked outside the Congress office in Amethi were vandalised The police remained a silent spectator and the BJP workers continued with their hooliganism. The wind has changed, breaking vehicles will not solve the problem, BJP people,” her tweet translated from Hindi, read.
