But, Congress unites the country, removes hate and fear, and when this happens country progresses, stated Rahul.
Lashing out at BJP, he further said, “BJP-Sangh leaders divide the country, deliberately create fear, hatred. Anyone against Modi is attacked; was made to sit for 55 hrs at ED office but want to tell PM, I am not scared of your ED.”
He said, “Bharat Jodo Yatra is being undertaken because the media is not with us, other institutions are under pressure from the government. So the opposition has no way but to directly go to the people and tell them the truth about the government.”
He reiterated that the opposition was not allowed to speak in Parliament on the issues concerning the people.
“People facing lots of hardships, and when Oppn tries to raise their voice in Parliament, Modi govt does not allow it,” added Gandhi.
