The Congress party hit back at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his dig at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi undertaking the Bharat Jodo Yatra, claiming the PM is “rattled” and indulging in his typical “defame to inflame” brand of politics.
As per PTI report, In an apparent reference to Gandhi during an address in Surendranagar town of poll-bound Gujarat, Modi said those who have been thrown out of power were taking out foot marches to get back to power.
The PM is indulging in his typical ‘defame to inflame’ brand of politics while criticising the Yatra. He is clearly desperate & rattled by the response over the past 75 days. How can anyone whose organisation actively opposed Bharat Chhodo in 1942 understand Bharat Jodo in 2022?

Responding to this, Congress general secretary in-charge of communications Jairam Ramesh said the Bharat Jodo Yatra aims to awaken the nation’s conscience to growing economic inequalities, social polarisation and political authoritarianism.
