Congress leader Jairam Ramesh made a statement over the Nyay yatra led by Rahul Gandhi today. He said that the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra is an ideological battle mounted against the politics of polarization and social, economic, and political injustice. In counter to this Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan reacted and gave an igniting statement.
He said that the ‘tukde-tukde’ gang (Congress) is staging drama of uniting the country by such yatra. He added saying that the nation is now in the devotion of Lord Ram referring to the upcoming Pran Pratishtha event in Ayodhya, and so the opposition is resisting to see the progress. “The country’s people have given them an answer in the last two elections and they will do so this time as well,” he added.
Meanwhile, Nalin Kohli – a BJP spokesperson said that Rahul Gandhi’s political campaigns have no meaning, “These words that the Congress party uses for Rahul Gandhi’s political campaigns…they have no meaning. The Congress party has no intention to implement them,” Kohli said.
Kohli further alleged the Congress of their failed attempts to unite themselves with the east during their reign. He compared the increased visit to the Northeast after the BJP government with the number of ministers traveling to the east during the UPA regime.
It was under the ministry of Atal Bihari Vajpayee, that “Look East” term was coined that was later transformed to “Act East” under the Modi government. Kohli slammed saying, “the Congress has neither looked nor acted.”
However the ‘Bharat Jodo Nyaya Yatra’ led by the Congress has already started and has now reached Manipur. Rahul Gandhi in his yatra will cover over 6,700 kilometres over 67 days, going through 110 districts.
