'Bharat Jodo Nyaya Yatra': "Whether successful or unsuccessful, this is fight for ideology," says Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury

Imphal (Manipur) [India], January 14 (ANI): While speaking on Rahul Gandhi's 'Bharat Jodo Nyaya Yatra', West Bengal Congress president Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury on Sunday said whether it is successful or unsuccessful, this is a fight for ideology.
He added that only the ideology of the Congress Party can save the country.
"This is an ideological struggle... On the pious occasion of Makar Sankranti, this yatra is beginning from Manipur for justice. Under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi, this yatra will go from east to west, from Manipur to Mumbai. Successful or unsuccessful is a different thing; this is a fight for ideology. Only the ideology of the Congress Party can save the country," Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury told ANI.
"This yatra has nothing to do with the elections or the victory or defeat in the elections. This is only to bring the ideology of Congress among the people," he added.
Party chief Mallikarjun Kharge and Wayanad MP Rahul Gandhi flagged off the yatra from Manipur's Thoubal.
The yatra will cover over 6,700 kilometres over 67 days, traversing through 110 districts.
The leaders and workers of the party paid a silent tribute to the people killed in the violence in the state before the start of the yatra.
Before the launch of the yatra, former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot said that Rahul Gandhi has come with a message of peace, love, and brotherhood in Manipur, which has been facing violence for a long time.
"This is a historic visit and a message will go from Manipur that in Manipur, where violence is taking place, Rahul Gandhi has come here with the message of peace, love and brotherhood. Nyay Yatra is to provide justice to the people," Gehlot said, speaking to ANI in Imphal.
Meanwhile, Danish Ali, a Lok Sabha MP who was recently suspended by the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), has opted to attend the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra launch in Manipur.
"I have decided to join him (Rahul Gandhi) in this yatra because I feel I would be failing in my duty as a politician and a social worker if I did not join the biggest drive for unity and justice. I pray for the success of this yatra and for the future of my country," Danish Ali said in a post on 'X'.
"This yatra is a call for action against divisive forces. This yatra is a drive to unite the people of our country against fear, hate, exploitation and divisiveness," he added. (ANI)
