Now, Mayawati targets Rahul Gandhi Press Trust of India Friday, October 24, 2008 (Kanpur) After Congress president, it was the turn of her son Rahul Gandhi to be targeted by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati when the administration of a university here cancelled a scheduled interaction with students in its auditorium. Almost a fortnight after the controversy over the Mayawati government cancelling the allotment of land for construction of a rail coach factory in Sonia's constituency in Rae Bareli, the gates of the auditorium in the Chandrashekhar Azad University were locked when Rahul arrived in Kanpur on Friday for the interaction with students. UPCC president Rita Bahunguna Joshi alleged that the Chief Minister had exerted pressure on the University Vice Chancellor to get the function cancelled. She said the administration had withdrawn all security for the leader. But an unfazed Rahul kept his date with the students holding an interactive session with them in the cafeteria. Immediately after landing at the airport, Gandhi drove to the university auditorium and after finding it locked he walked down a kilometre to the cafeteria with students to have an interaction with them. The SPG security personnel protecting Gandhi had a tough time controlling the over-enthusiastic students. When they pushed some students to check them, Gandhi came to their rescue and instructed SPG men not to prevent the students reaching him.
