Rahul Gandhi, the Congress leader, labelled the BJP administration in Assam led by Himanta Biswa Sarma as the “most corrupt” in India on Thursday. Soon after the Congress’s ‘Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra’ arrived in Assam, Gandhi slammed the governing BJP and its ideology Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) for “spreading hatred and looting public money”.
Gandhi told party workers at Halowating, Sivasagar district, “Perhaps the most corrupt government in India is in Assam.” During the ‘Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra’, we shall address Assam’s challenges.”
Countering BJP’s statement that such marches will not benefit the Congress, Gandhi said last year’s ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ has changed the “political narrative” of the country.
“The BJP and RSS are spreading hatred and making one community fight against the other. Their only job is to loot public money and exploit the country,” he said.
Gandhi arrived in Mariani about midday and observed hundreds of rural women lined up at a government-controlled center in the Nakachari district to gather paperwork for a recently announced plan. When Gandhi’s convoy passed by, all of the ladies left their ranks and dashed to the road to see the Congress MP.
Later, Jairam Ramesh, Congress general secretary in charge of communications who is accompanying Gandhi in the yatra, shared the video on social media platform X.
“Women assembled for a function organised by the Assam CM in Mariani spontaneously and enthusiastically met @RahulGandhi on Day 5 of the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra. NYAY for Assam has begun!” Ramesh added.
The 6,713-km-long march, led by the Congress MP, commenced from Manipur on January 14 and will culminate on March 20 in Mumbai. The Assam leg of the yatra will continue till January 25.
The ‘Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra’ is scheduled to cover 110 districts in 15 states.
