Congress will hold protest dharnas at all district headquarters of the state tomorrow to highlight the failures of Akhilesh Yadav-government and prevailing dismal law and order situation.
In Lucknow, Union ministers Beni Prasad Verma and Jitin Prasada and chairman of SC Commission P L Punia and others will be present in the dharna, UPCC president Nirmal Khatri told reporters here.
