NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh will go to Uttar Pradesh on Friday to campaign for the Congress for the second time in the key state where the party was making a determined bid to become politically relevant.
He would be addressing election meetings at Lakhimpur Kheri and Bahraich districts, party sources said.
Singh, opening his election campaign on Sunday last, threw his weight behind the Congress' youth MP Rahul Gandhi, saying he is the future of the state.
Meanwhile, Congress today attacked the BJP for its "outrageous and intemperate" attack on the Prime Minister for his remarks on Rahul.
"For the BJP to say that the Prime Minister is trying to impose Rahul on the people of UP is ludicrous and reflects an authoritarian mindset. The future leader of UP and India will be, as always, decided by the people", party spokesman Devendra Dwivedi told reporters.
