JAMMU, Jan 15: JKPCC working president Raman Bhalla and senior leaders, Mulla Ram, Rajnish Sharma, Kanta Baan, Hari Singh Chib, Uday Bhanu Chib, Vijay Sharma Babbi today flagged off Bharat Joda Yatra rally which started from Shakti Nagar and culminated at Talab Tillo.
The rally was organized by senior Congress leader Manmohan Singh. Prominent among those present on the occasion include Narinder Gupta, Sanjeev Panda, Satish Sharma, Rittu Choudhary, Satish Sharma, Ajay Lankhotra, Ramankant Khajuria, Sandeep Dogra, Arti Gupta, Uttam Singh, Balbir Kumar, Rajiv Saraf, Rajinder Singh Bagi, Vinay Malhotra, Pawan Dev Singh, Pawan Sharma, Kewal Yogi, Yash Pal and others.
Speaking on the occasion, Bhalla said Bharat Jodo Yatra has become a big movement in the country. The mass-movement started by party leader Rahul Gandhi intends to spread the spirit of love, unity and harmony and effects can be seen within the party as well. He said that the BJP and Modi Government are scared of the popularity of the `Bharat Jodo Yatra’ being led by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi.
He said that the party workers are fully geared up for it and the J&K unit will spare no effort to ensure that apart from the party leaders and workers, the common people can join it. He claimed that Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra was unifying the people across the country defying divisive politics by the BJP in the form of communal lines. He said Rahul Gandhi’s Yatra is historic in many ways, as it is not only posing a challenge for the BJP, but in various other ways. He said Rahul Gandhi’s 155-day long foot march covering 3500-km, 25 to 30 Kms daily on average, would create a world record, as it was an historic feat, never before attempted by anyone else.
Mulla Ram said that growing participation in the Yatra reflects the love and affection of the people for former Congress chief Rahul Gandhi. “The BJP targeting the Bharat Jodo Yatra is a clear indication that the Yatra is a big success and it is troubling them very much. He said that the BJP is so much rattled by the success of the Bharat Jodo Yatra and that it is desperately trying to derail it and defame Rahul Gandhi.
