During its ongoing Bharat Jodo Yatra, Congress took a shot at the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) by posting a photo of Khaki shorts being burned.
“To free the country from shackles of hate and undo the damage done by BJP-RSS. Step by step, we will reach our goal. #BharatJodoYatra.” the party posted on Twitter.
After a few hours, BJP MP Tejasvi Surya responded to the tweet, saying, “Congress fire burnT Delhi in 1984.”
“Its ecosystem burnt alive 59 karsevaks in Godhra in 2002.They’ve again given their ecosystem a call for violence. With Rahul Gandhi ‘fighting against Indian State’, Congress ceases to be a party with faith in constitutional means,” he stated.
The Bharat Jodo Yatra, which arrived in Kerala on Saturday evening, will travel 450 kilometres through the state, stopping in seven districts over the course of 19 days before entering Karnataka on October 1.
When the day’s yatra finished at Nemom here on Sunday, Rahul Gandhi said Kerala respects everyone and does not allow itself to be split or hatred to develop, adding that the Bharat Jodo Yatra was an extension of these values.
The first day of the Congress’ Bharat Jodo Yatra in Kerala, where the party has a major cadre base and adherents, saw a large crowd that grew during the day as the journey moved from Parassala to Nemom in the state’s southernmost district.
Over the course of 150 days, the yatra will travel through 12 states and two Union territories, covering a distance of 3,570 kilometres from Kanyakumari in Tamil Nadu to Jammu and Kashmir.
Mega rallies will be held in 22 major cities.
