New Delhi, August 17: Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi on Saturday slammed the Bharatiya Janata Party for publishing a full-page advertisement in the local edition of a vernacular daily in Uttar Pradesh's Unnao on Independence Day, featuring Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Kuldeep Sengar, the rape-accused former BJP leader together.

It is to be known that in the poster, along with Sengar, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath were also seen.
