Bharat Jodo Yatra Day 38: Mallikarjun Kharge, one of the two candidates and a senior leader from Karnataka, joined Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra for the first time.
Two days before the Congress presidential election, Mallikarjun Kharge, who is one of the candidates who applied for the Congress presidential election and also a senior leader from Karnataka, joined Bharat Jodo Yatra for the first time.
On the 38th day of the Baharat Jodo Yatra, Kharge joined Ballari on Saturday and walked for more than 2 km. He was expected to participate in the yatra on October 6 but stayed away due to his marketing campaign for the October 17 elections.
He fears that he could be seen as being formally subsidized by Rahul and chief Sonia Gandhi.Â
While another candidate, MP Shashi Tharoor, joined the yatra before filing his nomination last month, in his home state of Kerala.
Ballari Rally
During the rally in the Ballari, M Kharge said that due to the Congress government, the backward Kalyana Karnataka (Hyderabad-Karnataka) region had got special status under article 371 J of the Constitution. “Previously, the youths of this region were not getting jobs, but now they are getting jobs by the efforts made by Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi,” he added.
He said that we aren’t maintaining the Bharat Jodo Yatra for our political benefits, but against communal disharmony and a failed financial system set up by the BJP government. He accused the RSS and BJP of dividing society on the premise of religion. While our fight is towards unemployment, price rises, and the failed financial system.
M. Kharge and Shashi Tharoor were accused by Amit Malviya.
M Kharge may hold a press conference in Bengaluru, on Sunday. According to rival BJP’s information technology cell head, Amit Malviya, he is the Congress leadership’s favorite to become the next Congress president.Â
Also added, is that Shashi Tharoor is like Yashwant Sinha, who loves to fight losing battles. He said we can’t ignore the fact that Tharoor has been abandoned by even the G-23 group.
Rahul Gandhi lashed out at the BJP government and RSS at the Ballari rally.
At the Ballari rally, Rahul Gandhi lashed out at the BJP government and RSS. He said that the ideology with which the BJP-RSS is working will lead to violence in the country. It is anti-nationalism.
In our country, there has been a 50% increase in touchers against scheduled castes and scheduled tribes. The main objective of organizing the Bharat Jodo Yatra is to reunite the people of the country who are being deceived by the BJP and RSS.
He stated that before 2014, Narendra Modi expressed his ‘concerns’ for mothers and sisters that the domestic gas cylinder price had affected them. Now, the price of the same cylinder is Rs 1,050. So now, why does he not show his concern for the mothers and sisters of this country? he interrogated.
Rahul Gandhi said they were selling government jobs in Karnataka. If you want to be a police officer, you must pay Rs 80 lakh. There are nearly 2.5 lakh vacant jobs in Karnataka but haven’t been filled them till now. If you want to do something in Karnataka, you must pay a 40% commission, and then you are free to do whatever you want.
