The Congress has requested a 4-hour “bandh” in Gujarat today in protest of escalating costs, corruption, and unemployment.
A party official claims that the Gujarat Congress has requested a symbolic “bandh” across the state in opposition to escalating costs, corruption, and unemployment. The Congress party has proposed for a symbolic “Gujarat Bandh” to occur across the state on Saturday, September 10, 2022, from 8 a.m. until noon. A party official claims that the Gujarat Congress has requested a symbolic “bandh” across the state in opposition to escalating costs, corruption, and unemployment. The same declaration was made by Raghu Sharma, the Gujarat Congress’ in-charge, at a news conference on August 26.
The “Gujarat Bandh” was preceded by the Congress party’s “Mehengai pe Halla Bol” protest, which took place last week in the capital of the country.
On Friday, the Gujarat Congress issued a statement. Gujarat Congress president Jagdish Thakor issued a statement on Friday encouraging businesspeople, store owners, workers at textile markets, organisations, and small vendors to take part in the strike.
“The Bharatiya Janata Party has been in power in Gujarat for 27 years, during which time inflation, unemployment, and corruption have increased. People are suffering. Instead of offering aid, the BJP administration has enforced GST on items like milk, curd, and paneer “in line with Thakor.
In addition, Thakor gave party members instructions on how to avoid causing any property damage throughout the “bandh” and how to always have access to emergency services.
The bandh would be observed, according to an Ahmedabad auto rickshaw drivers’ organisation supported by Congress.
“Price rises, especially those related to CNG, have an impact on us as well. Autorickshaws won’t run on city streets from 8am to 12pm “according to Ashok Punjabi, president of the Gujarat Auto Rickshaw Action Committee.
Rahul Ghandi t- shirt row; a reply from Chhattisgarh
The Chhattisgarh chief minister said that the Congress is attempting to unite the country while the opposition party is still wearing T-shirts and khaki shorts in response to the BJP’s “T-shirt” dig at Rahul Gandhi.
Bhupesh Baghel, the chief minister of Chhattisgarh, hit back at the BJP on Friday after it mocked Rahul Gandhi by calling him out for wearing a “T-shirt,” claiming that Congress is fighting to unite the country while the BJP is still sporting T-shirts and khaki shorts.
The other party is still hanging around in T-shirts and khaki shorts in the greatest democracy in the world when one party is bringing the country together, Baghel remarked on Twitter. “So it actually feels. In opposition to the largest Bharat Jodo Yatra from Kanyakumari to Kashmir, the Centre only has a “T-shirt.” ” (roughly translated from Hindi).
As the Congress’ “Bharat Jodo Yatra” reached its third day, the BJP and the Congress got into an argument over Rahul Gandhi’s T-shirt.
The BJP attacked the Congress on social media by claiming that Rahul Gandhi, who has been discussing inflation on the “Bharat Jodo Yatra,” was seen wearing a T-shirt that cost Rs 41,257 on Friday. In response, the opposition Congress party charged that the BJP was terrified of the public’s response to the Bharat Jodo Yatra.
The Congress tweeted to the throng at the Bharat Jodo Yatra, “Hey, are you afraid? Discuss the subject. Discuss inflation and unemployment. If we have to debate the clothing, then Modi ji’s suit of 10 lakhs and glasses of 1.5 lakhs should be discussed. Does BJP wish to talk about this?” On Friday, in Nagercoil city the Congress began the third day of the “Bharat Jodo Yatra,”
The third day of the Yatra’s journey started from Scott Christian College in Nagercoil to Azhagiyamandapam Junction in Tamil Nadu.
Rahul Gandhi will go on a 3,500-kilometer march that will take 150 days to complete and travel through up to 12 states from Kanyakumari to Kashmir. The Yatra will arrive in Kerala on September 11. It will cross the state during the following 18 days, arriving at Karnataka on September 30. It will stay in Karnataka for a total of 21 days before heading farther north.
Rahul Gandhi said that every institution in the country is under attack on September 7 during a gathering for the Bharat Jodo Yatra, and he begged for assistance in keeping the nation united.
“They (the BJP) think they can frighten the opposition using the CBI, ED, and IT,” the Wayanad MP said. The problem is that they don’t comprehend Indians. Indians are not easily intimidated. There won’t be a single opposition politician who fears the BJP.
He emphasised the importance of the Indian tricolour and criticised the BJP for supposedly treating it as their personal property. He also emphasised the importance of the Indian flag.
The national flag “represents the language and religion of each and every person residing in this nation. They (the BJP and RSS) believe that this flag is their own property, said Rahul Gandhi. “Starting the Bharat Jodo Yatra from this beautiful spot gives me a great deal of happiness.”
Notably, Rahul Gandhi will spend the following 150 days behind bars together with every Congress MP, leader, and employee. AC, beds for sleeping, and restrooms are also included in some of the containers. Along the route, there will be a wide range of climatic and environmental situations. The high heat and humidity of the new location were taken into consideration throughout the preparations.
The 148-day march in Kashmir will come to a conclusion. The five-month Yatra will cover a distance of 3,500 kilometres and more than 12 states. The Padyatra (march) will cover 25 kilometres each day.
The padayatras, rallies, and public meetings that are a part of the yatra will be attended by senior members of the Congress, including Sonia Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra. For the Congress, the Assembly elections were a catastrophe, and the Yatra is seen as an attempt to energise the party’s support base before the 2018 elections.
