The Rahul Gandhi-led ‘Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra’ entered West Bengal on Thursday with the Congress leader exuding confidence that the opposition INDIA bloc will fight against injustice across the country. Accusing the BJP and RSS of spreading hatred and violence, Gandhi said the word ‘Nyay’ (justice) has been attached with the yatra as “injustice is prevailing across the country.”
“We have attached the word ‘Nyay’ (justice) in the yatra as injustice is prevailing across the country. BJP and RSS are spreading hatred and violence. The INDIA bloc will fight against injustice across the country,” he said while addressing reporters here.
Gandhi was welcomed by state Congress president Adhir Chowdhury.
The yatra entered West Bengal through Bakshirhat in Cooch Behar district in the northern part of the state.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and other leaders of the party resumed their Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra from Assam’s Golakganj Chariali of Dhubri district on January 25. During the Yatra, the MP along with his party leaders halted at a tea shop in Halakura village of Dhubri district. Notably, the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, flagged off from Manipur’s Imphal on January 14, will conclude in Mumbai on March 20. Speaking on the same issue, Congress MP Abdul Khaleque said, “If he has courage to arrest, do it now. Why after the Lok Sabha elections? He is using the state police for his political gains.”
