New Delhi, Feb 26: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi claimed that during his just completed month-long ;Bharat Jodo Yatra’ during which he interacted with people from all spheres of society, he learned a lot.
“During Bharat Jodo Yatra I learned a lot. I walked for my nation from Kanyakumari to Kashmir. Thousands connected with me and other party leaders during the yatra. I listened to all problems of farmers and realised their pain,” Rahul Gandhi said on Sunday at the party’s ongoing 85th Plenary Session in Raipur.
The yatra started on September 7, 2022, in Kanyakumari and travelled through 12 states before arriving in Jammu and Kashmir. It took around four and a half months to complete the 4,000 kilometre journey.
He also spoke of the Jammu and Kashmir section of his journey, adding that it had made him feel at home.
“52 years passed and I still don’t have a home, but when I reached Kashmir, it felt like home. The yatra was to make people of all castes and age groups feel at home. People were not talking political with me during the yatra but it all changed when I reached Kashmir,” he said.
The Congress claims that the purpose of the walk was to strengthen and unify India. In addition, it attempted to address the “politics of hate and division and over-centralization of our political system,” according to Congress, as well as concerns with unemployment and inflation.
Rahul Gandhi also stated that the focus of politics should be on the economy and unemployment, taking aim at the BJP.
