New Delhi, Sept 8: Rahul Gandhi, the leader of the Congress, and other senior party figures started the second day of the Bharat Jodo Yatra on Thursday in Agasteeswaram, Tamil Nadu, in an effort to counter the polarising policies of the BJP-led Centre and to educate the populace about the dangers of economic inequality, social polarisation, and political centralization.
Along with Rahul Gandhi, senior leaders took part in the “Padyatra,” including party MPs KC Venugopal, P Chidambaram, and Bhupesh Baghel, the chief minister of Chhattisgarh.
It is a Bharat Jodo Yatra, according to Jairam Ramesh, the general secretary of the Congress responsible for communications, to counter the BJP’s divisive politics and to make the public aware of the dangers that India faces as a result of economic inequality, social polarisation, and political centralization.
“This is also a Yatra that will strengthen the party organisation, mobilise party workers and the entire party is ensuring that the Bharat Jodo Yatra is a resounding and outstanding success,” said Jairam Ramesh.
“We are focused like Arjun was focussed on the fish when he went for Draupadi’s swayamvar. We have only one vision right now – to ensure the successful completion of Bharat Jodo Yatra,” he added.
