26 September 2016The assailant was identified as Hari Om Mishra, a resident of Hargaon, who told police that he was angry over the promises that were made by Rahul Gandhi during his roadshows, as he believed that the Congress was the cause of all problems faced by the farmers.
The shoe missed the Gandhi by a whisker and he looked back at the shoe as it zipped past him. Gandhi started his Kisan Yatra on Monday after a two-day break.
Rahul has been carrying out a campaign to assuage votes for the upcoming Assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh. He has been conducting what the Congress calls Khat Sabhas is part of his Kisan Yatra.
