The Yatra, which began in Kanyakumari on September 7, has covered Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Telangana, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan.
“The BJP had become wary of the growing power of his pan-India foot march and of ‘India’s truth’, and that ‘excuses’ – like the Covid-19 warning – were being used to stop him. It is their (BJP) new idea… they wrote a letter to me saying Covid is coming and (to) stop the Yatra. All these are excuses to stop this journey as they are scared of India’s truth,” Rahul Gandi said while addressing a gathering in Ghasera village in Haryana’s Nuh district.
“Hindustan ki shakti se, Hindustan ki Sachai se, yeh log dar Gaye hai, yeh Sachchayi hai (they have got scared of power and the truth of the nation. This is the truth),” the former Congress chief said.
Gandhi also said that “we do not want RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh) and (Prime Minister) Narendra Modi’s hate-filled India”.
During the Bharat Jodo Yatra, as the Yatra entered Haryana. Rahul Gandhi said, “Congress is opening a shop of love in the market of hate through Bharat Jodo Yatra.”
Targeting the BJP, the Congress leader said, “When these people go out to spread hatred in India, people of our ideology go out to spread love and affection.”
