Congress MP Rahul Gandhi-led Bharat Jodo Yatra arrived within the nation’s cleanest metropolis, Indore, on Sunday, on the sixth day of its Madhya Pradesh leg. The town is a BJP stronghold, the place Congress has did not win Lok Sabha polls since 1984, and mayoral polls since 1995.

On the Rajwada palace, Rahul Gandhi once more attacked the central authorities, saying, “What the Chinese language military could not do to India has been performed by demonetisation and a flawed GST”.

Mr Gandhi repeated his assertion that the dual insurance policies have been “disastrous”, and hindered the money movement of small and medium merchants and farmers, who he says are the largest employment turbines within the nation.

“This resulted in the long run of jobs within the nation. Till the micro, small, and medium enterprises, and farmers, aren’t revived, India’s youth will not get jobs. Take a look at what is going on now, those that have engineering and different skilled levels are driving cabs or delivering meals on order,” he mentioned.

The Congress MP then took a dig at BJP’s funding, saying cash from the poor’s pockets is quickly altering arms and reaching the BJP, which is then placing it into the pockets of grasping MLAs to tug down elected governments in states.

“That is what precisely occurred, when the federal government elected by you in MP (in 2018) was pulled down by paying crores of rupees to grasping MLAs of the federal government. If that wasn’t corruption, then what’s to be referred to as corruption?” he requested.

Rahul Gandhi claimed the media is ignoring urgent public points, and reporting on celebrities as an alternative. He mentioned that journalists are doing it below stress, and he holds no grudges in opposition to them.

“As an alternative of reporting on public points, like unemployment and farmers’ misery or the success of Bharat Jodo Yatra, the media personnel are compelled to report on what gown Aishwarya Rai is carrying, what Shahrukh Khan is saying and the boundaries being hit by Virat Kohli in a gripping cricket match. However I do not maintain any grudges in opposition to the press individuals, as they’re doing it below stress of these reigning in from behind. Take a TV distant and begin shuffling via channels, what you will see are Narendra Modi, Amit Shah, Yogi Adityanath, Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Aishwarya Rai, and Ajay Devgan solely. You will by no means get to see the frightened faces and blistered arms of our farmers,” he mentioned.

Well-known Urdu poet Rahat Indori’s son Satlaj Indori additionally joined the yatra and mentioned he offered to Rahul Gandhi two books devoted to his late father, together with the latter’s autobiography.

The yatra, a mass contact initiative of the Congress, will cowl a distance of 380 km within the Malwa-Nimar area of western Madhya Pradesh in 12 days earlier than coming into Rajasthan on December 4, as per the schedule introduced by the social gathering.

The foot march entered Madhya Pradesh on November 23 at Bodarli village in Burhanpur district from neighbouring Maharashtra.

Within the final six days, the yatra has accomplished greater than half of its journey in Madhya Pradesh.

The march led by Gandhi has thus far lined Burhanpur, Khandwa, Khargone and Indore districts in MP.
