Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi offered prayers at the Golden Temple in Amritsar on Tuesday, a day before the start of the Punjab leg of his party’s Bharat Jodo Yatra.
Gandhi arrived at the Amritsar airport in the afternoon after concluding the Haryana leg of the foot march. Sporting an orange turban, the former Congress chief paid obeisance at the sanctum sanctorum of the Golden Temple.
Earlier According to ANI report, the former Congress President resumed the Bharat Jodo Yatra in Haryana’s Ambala amid dense fog and biting cold.
On Monday, the Bharat Jodo Yatra was dedicated to women and women empowerment.
During the Haryana leg of the Bharat Jodo Yatra, the Wayanad MP took a jibe at the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) by calling them Kauravas of the 21st century, who wear Khakhi half-pants, run shakhas, and work against the culture of the country.
“Kauravas of the 21st century wear Khakhi half-pants and run ‘shakhas’. Besides them stand the country’s 2-3 richest people,” Gandhi said while addressing a gathering in Kurukshetra.
He also said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is not responsible for demonetisation or the declining economy of the country, but it is those 2-3 rich people who support the RSS who are behind it.
