Bharat Jodo Yatra Enters Delhi

Congress vs BJP Over Covid Protocol…


Early this morning, As the Bharat Jodo Yatra entered the national capital from Faridabad, Delhi Congress Chief Anil Chaudhary welcomed Mr. Rahul Gandhi, other party leaders and the yatris at Badarpur Border amid "Rahul Zindabad" chants.

While addressing party workers, Rahul Gandhi reiterated that the motive of his yatra is to open a 'mohabbat ki dukaan' (shop of love) amid a 'nafrat ka bazaar' (market of hatred).

"Common man of the country is now talking about love. In every state, lakhs have joined the yatra. I have told people of RSS and BJP that we are here to open shop of love in your 'bazar' of hatred," Mr. Gandhi said.

Mr. Gandhi said the purpose of the Bharat Jodo Yatra is to showcase "real Hindustan" where people help each other effortlessly. "They (BJP, RSS) spread hatred, we (Congress) just spread love," he said.

Earlier, Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya had written to Rahul Gandhi asking him to ensure Covid-19 "protocols" are followed during Bharat Jodo Yatra.

In his clapback, Mr. Rahul Gandhi cited PM Narendra Modi's recent poll campaign in Gujarat and the BJP's "Jan Aakrosh Yatra" in Rajasthan. "The BJP is taking out yatras in almost every state. But the Health Minister is sending letters only to us," he said.

Congress had alleged that the BJP wanted to stop Rahul Gandhi's yatra as it is scared of the love Bharat Jodo Yatra has received.
