New Delhi, July 11 (IANS) Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi on Thursday hit out at the Uttar Pradesh government over corruption and expressed grief over a man who killed himself after being allegedly tortured by a junior engineer of the electricity department.
Neeraj Kumar ended his life at the Collectorate camp office in Bijnor on July 9.
Gandhi tweeted: "In Uttar Pradesh, many citizens like Neeraj are suffering. Money is being extorted from them and there is no one to listen to them,"
