Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said that if the Bharat Jodo Yatra from Kanyakumari to Kashmir is successful under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi, then the party will go to Gujarat and will start another journey from Gujarat to Arunachal Pradesh. Let us tell you that on the eighth day of Congress’s Bharat Jodo Yatra, party leaders under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi started a march from Kollam on Friday.

Jairam Ramesh indicated that the Bharat Jodo Yatra is not related to the election campaign in Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh. AICC general secretary said in Kollam, “We will cover a distance of about 3,100 km in 150 days in the second phase. This is the longest march by any political party in the world. Earlier such a march was done by Chinese leader Mao Zedong. If the journey from Kanyakumari to Kashmir is successful, we will proceed with the journey from Gujarat to Arunachal Pradesh.

CPM raised questions on Bharat Jodo Yatra

The Congress’ reaction comes at a time when political parties are questioning why the yatra is passing through states where the BJP is not the dominant force. Let us tell you that in a tweet of CPM it was said, “Bharat Jodo ya seats jodo? 18 days in Kerala, 2 days in UP. Strange way to fight BJP-RSS. CPM’s Pinarayi Vijayan heads the Left Democratic Front (LDF) government in Kerala.
Kerala is the only state where the Left parties have a government. The CPM was the Congress’ electoral partner in the 2021 West Bengal Assembly elections, but the oldest party is the main opposition of the Left organization in the southern state. Jairam Ramesh tweeted on CPM’s reaction, “Do your homework better… Stupid criticism from BJP’s A-team party on MunduModi soil.”

Earlier, on the seventh day of the yatra, Rahul Gandhi interacted with the students at Chathannoor in Kollam district. The Congress said, “As we conclude the first week of the Bharat Jodo Yatra today, the distance we have covered and the number of people we have connected with has strengthened our commitment, our goal is clear, And our family has grown. This is the power of truth, the power of unity.”
