Rahul Gandhi expresses condolences over Cong worker’s demise

Congress President Rahul Gandhi has expressed his condolences following the death of an elderly party worker, P Ganesan, during the ongoing Bharat Jodo Yatra.
In a Facebook post on Friday, Rahul Gandhi wrote, “Deeply saddened by the demise of our fellow Yatri, Shri P Ganesan ji.” “He was a dedicated Congress worker who had taken part in every yatra and campaign of the party over the last three decades. In him, we have lost a true soldier of the party and a beloved companion on the Bharat Jodo Yatra,” he added.
Rahul Gandhi further stated, “I express my deepest condolences to his family and well-wishers. His dedication to the country and the Congress party will serve as an inspiration to all of us in our endeavour to unite our country.”
The Congress leader is currently on the Bharat Jodo Yatra, which began on September 7 in Kanyakumari and will end in Kashmir next year.
The Congress claimed earlier in a statement that the Yatra is the longest march on foot by any Indian politician in Indian history.
Bharat Jodo Yatra is now in Maharashtra after already covering parts of Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and Telangana.
The Yatra is getting support from various political parties and social organisations across the country, and the response is increasing day by day.
In Maharashtra too, the NCP and Shiv Sena (the Thackeray faction) agreed to participate in the yatra, adding to its importance.
Notably, all the party MPs, leaders, and workers, along with Rahul Gandhi, are staying in containers. Sleeping beds, toilets, and ACs are also installed in some of the containers. The arrangements have been made keeping in mind the intense heat and humidity associated with the change of places.
