Mr. Yadav said the winds of change will start blowing from Ghaziabad in western Uttar Pradesh to Ghazipur and the BJP will be given a grand farewell in the Lok Sabha elections.

Criticising the now-scrapped electoral bonds, Mr. Gandhi said the Prime Minister claims that the scheme was brought to bring transparency in poll funding but then why was it struck down by the Supreme Court.
