JAMMU, Jan 18: JKPCC Working President Raman Bhalla, accompanied by former Minister Yogesh Sawhney, today flagged off Bharat Jodo Yatra rally which started from Guru Nanak Nagar and passed through Preet Nagar, Digiana, Shastri Nagar and culminated at Nai Basti.
The rally was organized by Congress Sewa Dal chief Vijay Sharma Babbi, Block President Mandeep Singh & Pardeep Bhalla.
Speaking on the occasion, Bhalla said Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra will create history in J&K. “The overwhelming response that the Bharat Jodo Yatra has been receiving has taken political observers by surprise. As the yatra progresses, Rahul Gandhi is emerging as a different leader altogether, energetic, inspiring and popular,” he said.
The yatra, he added, is also effectively rejuvenating the cadres of the party who have long remained dormant. The party is also collecting real-time feedback on key issues from the marginalised communities, beleaguered farmers and unemployed youth, he said.
Bhalla said that yatra is no longer a Congress party movement as people from all shades and even those who used to criticise Congress have joined hands for the sake of the nation. “And that’s why the BJP is running helter-skelter and is scared, he added.
Yogesh Sawhney, speaking on the occasion, alleged that the BJP has pushed the Jammu and Kashmir into unprecedented political uncertainty by failing to maintain law and order and indulging in politics of hate. He said people want change, as the BJP has failed on all fronts of Governance especially unchecked price rise, record unemployment besides other anti-employees, anti-trade, anti-poor politics in J&K.
Congress Sewa Dal Chief Vijay Sharma Babbi said that people of all sections have turned against the BJP, that’s why elections are being delayed fear of losing polls.
Block President Mandeep Singh & Pardeep Bhalla in their address appealed to the people of J&K to reject “the pro-rich and anti-youth” BJP for peace and prosperity in the region.
Prominent among those present on the occasion include Parveen Sarwar Khan, Durdarshan Singh, Dewarka Choudhary, Pritam Singh, Surinder Singh Dutt, Parveen Singh, Vijay Singh Chib, Kulbushan Sharma, Vijay Khajuria, Dara Singh, Tamana Heer, Balwinder Singh Rinku and others.
