Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra Reaches Red Fort, Delhi
Delhi, 24th December 2022: Bharat Jodo Yatra, under the leadership of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, has reached Red Fort. Here he addressed the public meeting. During this, he said that the goal of the yatra was to unite India and eradicate hatred from India.
Rahul Gandhi was accompanied by actor Kamal Haasan and Congress National President Mallikarjun Kharge at the Red Fort. Kamal Haasan and Kharge addressed the gathering in Tamil. There was a huge crowd of workers during the yatra to catch a glimpse of the Congress leader.
Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge said BJP is in awe of the Bharat Jodo Yatra and is taking out the excuse of Covid to halt it. “There is no covid anywhere. Nothing happened to anyone. PM Modi himself does not wear a mask. All this is being done to create fear among the people and sabotage the yatra,” he said.
Actor Kamal Haasan said many people ask him why he is there. “I am here as an Indian. My father was a Congressman. I had different ideologies and started my political party, but when it comes to the country, the lines of all political parties get blurred. I blurred that line, and here I am,” he said.
Bharat Jodo Yatra entered Delhi in the early morning from the Badarpur border. Former Congress President Sonia Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi also participated in this visit. After addressing Rahul Gandhi’s gathering at Red Fort, the yatra will also reach Rashtriya Smriti Sthal. Rahul Gandhi reached the Nizamuddin Dargah in the afternoon, where he offered a chadar. Rahul Gandhi’s program to visit Rajghat was cancelled.
A large number of Congress workers, led by Delhi unit chief Anil Chaudhary, welcomed Rahul Gandhi and the yatris at the Delhi border at Badarpur. The yatra entered Delhi from the Faridabad side in Haryana. Former Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda, Kumari Selja, Randeep Surjewala, Shaktisinh Gohil and other senior leaders participated in the yatra. During this, it was said from the Congress side that inflation, unemployment and hatred should be removed.
Congress leader Jairam Ramesh had earlier tweeted that the Bharat Jodo Yatra is entering its 108th day in Delhi. He said that for the last few days, uneasiness has increased there. The yatra will halt at Ashram Chowk in the national capital at 11 am and will resume at 1 pm.
Due to the tussle between Delhi Police and Congress, there is a possibility of a deteriorating traffic system in half of Delhi since Saturday morning. In such a situation, people may have to face traffic jams on various roads from Badarpur to Red Fort. In such a situation, people going towards the railway station and airport may have to face trouble.
