Bharat Jodo Yatra: 21st century Kauravas wear khaki half-pant and run shakhas, says Rahul Gandhi | WATCH
Reacting to Rahul Gandhi’s dig at RSS, Haryana CM Manohar Lal Khattar said that even Rahul Gandhi went and performed Pooja and Aarti in Kurukshetra
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has once again attacked BJP and RSS. Addressing a rally in Kurukshetra, Haryana, Rahul Gandhi said that there are Kauravas even in the 21st century. He said that the Kauravas of the 21st century wear khaki half-pants and run a shakha. Besides them, 2-3 richest people of the country are always standing.
Watch the viral video here:
Rahul Gandhi further said that RSS people never say ‘Har Har Mahadev’ because Lord Shiva was a Tapasvi and these people are attacking India’s Tapasya. Gandhi also said that the RSS has also removed Goddess Sita from ‘Jai Siya Ram’. These people are working against the culture of India.
In the video, Rahul Gandhi also asks the people present in the rally that if they knew, that who implemented demonetisation, wrong GST and against whom was it enforced. He then explains that even though Narendra Modi signed for the demonetisation and for the GST but it were those 2-3 richest people in the country who forced the PM to do so.
Reacting to Rahul Gandhi’s dig at RSS, Chief Minister of Haryana Manohar Lal Khattar said that even Rahul Gandhi went and performed Pooja and Aarti in Kurukshetra.
Notably, in the first phase of Bharat Jodo Yatra in Haryana from December 21 to 23, Rahul Gandhi has covered a distance of more than 130 kilometers via Nuh, Gurugram and Faridabad districts. The yatra re-entered Haryana’s Panipat from Uttar Pradesh on Thursday evening. The yatra began on September 7 from Kanyakumari in Tamil Nadu and will end on January 30 at Srinagar with Rahul Gandhi unfurling the national flag there.
The Yatra has so far passed through Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Delhi and Uttar Pradesh.
A day before, in Karnal, the Yatra saw a welcome of shirtless Congress workers in biting cold weather conditions. It seemed like these shirtless Congress workers, whose enthusiasm was undeterred by the extreme cold, were indeed inspired by Rahul Gandhi, who has braved the entire Bharat Jodo Yatra, including it’s Delhi leg in a plain white T-shirt.

Mallikarjun Kharge writes to PM Modi seeks time to explain Congress’s Nyay Patra
Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge wrote an open letter to PM Modi and said the Prime Minister is being misinformed by his advisors
Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge wrote Prime Minister Narendra Modi a letter on Thursday, requesting an explanation of the ancient party’s Nyay Patra.
In support of the Congress manifesto, Kharge said that the Nyay Patra aims to give justice to marginalised people from all castes and communities, including women, children, farmers, and labourers.
The Congrss president said, PM’s advisors are misrepresenting things to him that aren’t even included in our manifesto. Kharge said, he would be more than happy to meet with him in person to explain thehir Nyay Patra’ so that, as prime minister of the country, he dosen’t make any statements that are false.
It has become his habit to seize on a few words taken out of context, create communal divide, Kharge added.
The Congress leader said that he is neither shocked nor surprised by the language used by the prime minister, in reference to Modi’s recent addresses.
It was expected that the PM and other leaders from his party would start speaking in this manner after he saw the dismal performance of the BJP in the first phase of the elections, he continued.
The impoverished and their rights have been a topic of discussion in Congress (nyay). We know that you and your administration do not care about the underprivileged and destitute, he remarked.
Continuing his attack on the prime minister, Kharge said, PM’s ‘suit-boot ki sarkar’ works for the corporates whose taxes you reduced while the salaried class pays higher taxes. The poor pay GST even on food and salt and the rich corporate claim GST refunds. That is why, when we talk of inequality between the rich and the poor, you are purposely equating it with Hindu and Muslim.
Following the criticisms made by the prime ministers in their recent election speeches, Kharge has responded. Modi has not held back when criticizing the main opposition party at his rallies, accusing them of scheming to redistributing assets and referring to the Congress manifesto as a “imprint of the Muslim League.
