Bharat Jodo Yatra Day 4: Congress resumes Padayatra from TNs Mulagumoodu #IndiaNEWS #India
Kanyakumari: Congress leaders on Saturday resumed the fourth day of the partys Bharat Jodo Yatra from Mulagumoodu in Kanyakumari and it is likely to enter Kerala by today evening.
Congress MP Rahul Gandhi along with other party leaders commenced their journey to unite India.
Earlier on Friday while addressing the media persons, Rahul Gandhi said Bharat Jodo Yatra is an attempt to undo the damage done by the BJP and RSS.
The Congress MP from Wayanad also attacked the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for taking control of all institutions.
For us, this yatra is to connect with the people. We have taken out this yatra against the damage and hatred that BJPs ideology has caused to this country, he said.
BJP has taken control of all the institutions of this country and pressurise through them. We are not fighting as a political party anymore. The fight is now between the structure of the Indian state and the opposition, the Congress MP said.
Frankly, the battle has been going on between two different visions for a couple of thousand years now, and it will continue. There are two different visions of India, one vision is rigid and controlling while another is plural and open-minded. The battle will continue, he further added.
However, taking a pot shot at the Rahul Gandhi-led Bharat Jodo Yatra, Union Minister Anurag Thakur on Friday said that India is already united under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Rahul Gandhi is going on Bharat Jodo yatra nowadays. But India is already united under the leadership of PM Modi, Thakur said.
There is not even a Rs 1 scam allegation on Modi government. The double-engine (BJP) government in both the Centre and State has worked together to take the state and country forward. We cant let the country get divided and must work with unity to take it forward, he added.
On the other hand, Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) Rajya Sabha MP Jugal Thakor Lokhandwala said this is not Bharat Jodo Yatra but Nafarat failayo Yatra. While taking a swipe at Congress Bharat Jodo Yatra, Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri advised Congress leaders to refuel their vehicles in the BJP-ruled states so that they can save money.
Puri said during the yatra, Congress leaders can save around Rs 1,050-Rs 2,205 per diesel vehicle while traversing 3,500 kms through 12 states.
In an apparent attack on Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi, BJP chief J P Nadda called the Congress the party of a brother and sister and emphasised that his own party was against dynastic culture.
Congress is a party of brother and sister. These days, Chief Minister Bhagel is going to Bharat Jodo rallies, they need to first align their own party. Our fight is against family politics, said Nadda.
