Congress General secretary Jairam Ramesh on Friday said the party’s first Bharat Jodo Yatra from south to north had not faced as many problems while passing through BJP ruled states as the second one is encountering in Assam. He wondered why Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma is afraid of the Congress.

He added no power can prevent the ongoing Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra from, proceeding with its scheduled itinerary in Assam. Ramesh said the first Bharat Jodo Yatra did not face so many difficulties even when passing through BJP-ruled states. The first Bharat Jodo Yatra was taken out in 2022-23 from Kanyakumari to Kashmir, with Congress MP Rahul Gandhi leading the yatra.

The ongoing Yatra, again being held by Gandhi, began from Manipur on January 14 and will end in Mumbai on March 20. Ramesh said the amount of difficulties the Congress has faced in Assam in these two days, they had not faced anywhere else. He pointed out that the first Yatra had crossed then BJP-ruled states Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra, and the Congress had criticized the chief ministers and governments there.

Ramesh said it is for the first time that within 24 hours, the CM has been rattled. He said the Congress has been threatened with FIR and imprisonment. He added people are being prevented from joining the Yatra. An FIR has been lodged in Jorhat on Thursday against the Yatra and its chief organizer KB Byju for the entourage allegedly deviating from permitted routes in Jorhat town.

The chief minister has also warned of arresting two bad elements participating in the rally after the Lok Sabha Elections if it reaches the state’s largest city Guwahati without permission. He, however did not divulge the identity of his targets. Ramesh said that no power can prevent the Yatra from completing its next six days of scheduled programmes in Assam, with the journey to continue through the state till January 25.

Rahul Gandhi says Kejriwal will vote for Congress, and he will vote for AAP

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi was addressing an election rally on Saturday where he said that Arvind Kejriwal will vote for a Congress candidate and that he will vote for an AAP candidate in Delhi in the ongoing Lok Sabha elections as a mark of strong bond between the two allies.

He further added workers of Congress and of AAP to work together to ensure the victory of their alliance in all 7 Lok Sabha seats in the national capital. In his address, Gandhi also challenged Prime Minister Narendra Modi for a debate concerning the issues of India. The Congress leader said he is ready to debate with PM Modi whenever and wherever he wants, but he was confident that PM Modi would not come.

Notably, former Supreme Court judges Madan B Lokur and Ajit P Shah and senior journalist N Ram had written to Gandhi and PM Modi recently and invited them to a platform for a debate on the key Lok Sabha election issues. Gandhi said that if the prime minister comes in front of him, he would ask him questions about crony capitalism, unemployment, inflation, and farm issues.

The Wayanad MP said in his address that PM Modi has only worked for 22-25 people. He asked small businessmen from Chandni Chowk, what PM Modi had done for them? He said demonetization, GST, and other taxes had impacted small businessmen. He said billions of rupees of Adani and Ambani had been waived off. Gandhi said BJP is privatising railways and other PSUs as well.

The former Congress president questioned the prime minister about introducing the now-scrapped electoral bond scheme and further accused him of extorting money with the help of central agencies such as the Enforcement Directorate (ED). Gandhi reffered to Delhi as the Brotherhood Capital and said that if people work together with love, there is progress.
