Trinamool Congress Party (TMC) MP Shatrughan Sinha on Thursday said that one cannot ignore Congress leader Rahul Gandhi as PM face in 2024 while adding that the Congress' 'Bharat Jodo Yatra' was revolutionary.
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi on Monday launched a scathing attack on Congress' Bharat Jodo Yatra in Kashmir and leader Rahul Gandhi saying "the leader brought all anti-social elements together through Bharat Jodo Yatra."
Chowdhury's remarks came at a time when political parties, in the run-up to the Lok Sabha elections, are formulating strategies for the upcoming polls.
Congress had earlier planned to hoist the national flag at the PCC Office on Monday to mark the end of Rahul Gandhi-led Bharat Jodo Yatra in Jammu and Kashmir.
Taking note of the alleged 'serious' security breach in Kashmir during the last leg of Rahul Gandhi-led Bharat Jodo Yatra, Congress MP Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury on Friday accused the Jammu and Kashmir LG Manoj Sinha saying that he is responsible behind the security lapse.
Jammu and Kashmir Police dismissed the allegations levelled by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi of security lapse in the Bharat Jodo Yatra which entered the Valley on Friday.
He said Congress' Bharat Jodo Yatra is useless since it lacks a clear vision. The BJP leader said Rahul Gandhi himself had admitted that there is no atmosphere of hatred in the country, indicating that the march is of no motive.
"We don't appreciate Digvijaya Singh's personal views. His views are outlying views. We are absolutely clear that the Armed Forces do their job exceptionally well and they do not need to provide proof of that," said Rahul Gandhi.
A day after stirring the hornet's nest, Digvijaya Singh says he has utmost respect for the defence forces, as Jairam Ramesh reminds the media to ask PM Modi a few questions as well.
Reacting to Defence Minister Rajnath Singh's remarks against Congress' Bharat Jodo Yatra', Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu on Sunday said Rahul Gandhi had set out for the march to unite the nation.
National Conference leader Omar Abdullah has said that Congress should see the recent track records of the leaders joining the Bharat Jodo Yatra as some "might use" it to "whitewash themselves".
