Rahul Gandhi again put a question to the Centre on Saturday, a day after claiming that the Congress’ “Bharat Jodo Yatra” was intended to “correct the damage done by the BJP and the RSS” to the nation. His latest attack comes amid political mudslinging around the grand old party’s mass contact campaign, which is trying to regain the party’s lost electoral foothold.
“42% of our youth are unemployed. Is Bharat’s future secure if theirs isn’t? We walk for them all. We walk for jobs,” Rahul Gandhi tweeted.
The former head of the Congress party cited “unemployment” and “inflation” as the two major problems facing the nation on Friday while blaming the BJP-led federal government. India must look to the past in order to find a vision from the past because nothing from the past can save you in the future. This is why India needs a vision for itself right now.
We support corporate India. We oppose the idea of massive monopolies. We oppose unfairness, whether it is against farmers or MSMEs. We will act to ensure fairness prevails, “he said, lashing out at the country’s lack of vision for the future.
The party plans to travel 3,570 kilometres on foot in order to pass through 12 states and two union territories. The BJP has been harshly criticising the Congress while the grand old party works to strengthen its grassroots connections.
BJP officials have been making controversial statements that have drawn criticism, ranging from asserting that India does not need a “Bharat Jodo” yatra to asking Rahul Gandhi to go to Pakistan and alleging that he was seen wearing a $41,000 t-shirt.
