Shoe thrown at Rahul Gandhi in UP during Kisan Yatra

Sitapur, Uttar Pradesh, Sept 26 (IBNS) : A shoe was thrown at Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi on Monday during his roadshow in Uttar Pradesh, though it missed him narrowly, reports said.

The person who threw the shoe was arrested.

Gandhi was giving the speech standing atop a vehicle at Sitapur, 85 km off Lucknow, when the shoe came flying and landed close to him.

The Congress leader, however, seemed to be unfazed.

Anoop Mishra, who was arrested, confessed to have thrown the shoe in protest against what he said, the "Congress misrule" during its reign in the country.

The man claimed he was a journalist.

Gandhi is on a month-long "kisan yatra" to connect with farmers in the state before the upcoming Assembly elections.
