Chandigarh:  AICC former Chief Rahul Gandhi said that the Bharat Jodo Yatra is against fear, hatred, inflation and unemployment. Speaking to the media persons on Sunday on the way of his Jodo Yatra in Kurukshetra in Haryana quoted that the teachings of Bhagavad Gita is to do work and not worry about the results.

Rahul’s Jodo Yatra resumed on Sunday morning from Dodwa near Karnal amid a dense fog, the home district of BJP CM Manohar Lal Khattar and entered Kurukshetra. A group of youngsters greeted him by removing their shirts. Rahul has been moving around in a T-shirt despite a chilly weather.

Senior party leaders Bhupinder Singh Hooda, Randeep Singh Surjewala and former Union Minister Kumari Selja accompanied him. Rahul also met protesting farmers at Bastara toll plaza demanding higher State-assured cane prices.

In his address to the media at Samana near Kurukshetra he said that while we were in Kerala, people doubted if we would get the Kerala-like response in BJP-ruled Karnataka. However, we got an even better response there. A similar sequence went on everywhere, he added.

There was a purpose behind this Jodo Yatra, which is ‘tapasya’ (penance), he said. He would not comment now on whether the yatra would help the party politically. This yatra is against the suppression of India’s voice, the fear which is being spread and divisions being sown on caste and religious lines, he added.
