Congress leader Jairam Ramesh has said the Bharat Jodo Yatra has not been organised to project Rahul Gandhi as a prime ministerial candidate for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, asserting that the foot march has nothing to do with elections.
As per PTI report, The former Union minister also said Gandhi has succeeded in highlighting three big issues during the yatra — economic inequality, social polarisation and political authoritarianism.
Replying to a reporter’s question here, the Congress general secretary in-charge communications said, “The Bharat Jodo Yatra has not been taken out to project Rahul Gandhi as a prime ministerial candidate. It is an ideological yatra and Gandhi is its main face. But it is not an individual’s yatra.” He asserted that the Kanyakumari-to-Kashmir foot march, which is currently passing through Haryana, is not an “election yatra”.
