  "account": "The Congress party has accused the BJP and Uttar Pradesh government of attempting to sabotage Rahul Gandhi's 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' event in Prayagraj. A video circulating on social media shows an individual alleging that sewage water is being released from a drain during the event. Congress MP KC Venugopal shared this video on X and accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath of releasing sewage water to disrupt the proceedings. He referred to this as \"gutter politics\" and argued that the BJP opposes any platform providing young people a chance to voice their concerns. Venugopal emphasized that no \"petty\" tactics will prevent Gandhi's efforts from addressing the issues faced by students and unemployed youth. The event, scheduled to take place at the KP Ground in Prayagraj, faced waterlogging due to overnight rain. Party workers utilized buckets, JCB machines, a road roller, and limestone and sand to manage the waterlogged area. Gandhi, upon his arrival at Prayagraj airport, received a warm welcome from party leaders and workers.",
