Earlier Rajya Sabha MP and Incharge J&K Rajani Patil , former Minister of Power of India and Hath Se Hath Jodo Abhiyan Incharge J&K Bharatsinh Madhavsinh Solanki today morning reached Jammu on two days visit and straightway from Jammu Airport went head to review felicitation points in wake of forthcoming Bharat Jodo Yatra in J&K.

Speaking on the occasion, Rajni Patil said that Bharat Jodo Yatra was initiated by the Congress government to bring together the entire nation and to strengthen it. The yatra stands as a turning point in the history of India and is the biggest mass conduct program after independence. Everyone is excited and spirited to be a part of it. The yatra lighted up the old spirits, as India has its history of padayatras.

Old stories were remembered, and the efforts of veterans were praised as people took steps in the yatra. Bharat Jodo Yatra has received a great response from people from all walks of life. Everyone is gathering together to be a part of this historic moment. It stands as the celebration of India’s Unity. Everyone is stepping together, rich or poor, citizens or politicians, which shows the ideals of fraternity, added Patil.

The yatra is a step to bring people on the ground to raise their voices against all issues that cause division in our nation, whether political, economic or social. The yatra is witnessing great turnout and grand welcome while entering each state in its route. In this Yatra, Rahul Gandhi interacted with children and was seen tying shoelaces and walking with party members.

Patil said that the criticism they have got from BJP shows the success of the Bharat Jodo Yatra. BJP targeting the Bharat Jodo Yatra is a clear indication that the yatra is a big success, and it is troubling them very much. Why should we be worried, let them criticise,” added Patil.

 “Today’s challenge is about reasserting the constitutional project, reimagining the Indian self, and redefining the contours of democracy.” It is fair to say that the success of the yatra should be measured against the enormity of this challenge. The Congress has put its heart, mind and soul in the 3,570-km Kanyakumari to Kashmir padyatra, added Patil.

The party is focused on making Bharat Jodo Yatra successful because it is the largest mass mobilisation programme it has undertaken in Independent India… It is the longest yatra undertaken by the party. It’s a turning point in India’s political history. Padyatras have a significance of their own and this is transformational politics. This is what politics is about, not of abuse, vendetta and vilification, claimed Patil.

 Former Minister of Power of India and Hath Se Hath Jodo Abhiyan Incharge J&K Bharatsinh Madhavsinh Solanki speaking on the occasion said that as a follow-up to the Bharat Jodo Yatra, Party will run a massive campaign ‘Haath se haath jodo abhiyaan’ from January 26 for two months as part of which padyatras will be taken out and a letter from Rahul Gandhi talking about the core message of the yatra will be distributed among the people along with a ‘charge sheet’ against the Modi government.

As per this campaign, block level padyatra covering all gram panchayats and booths, will be carried out,” he said.”The Yatra listens to and speaks with people from all sections of society every day, especially youth, women, farmers and the working class, directly communicating its message of equality, fraternity and harmony.

It is the same message which India’s spiritual leaders and social reformers preached, the leaders of our freedom struggle under Mahatma Gandhi fought for, and our Constitution upholds,” he said.He appreciated the leadership of former president Rahul Gandhi, whose ‘tapasya’, unfailing determination, and love for India and her people have been critical to the success of the Yatra,” he said.

He further said that while India faces challenges, the Prime Minister continues to “deny, distract and divide”.”His inflammatory rhetoric during the recent election campaigns in Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh has further polarised the polity and society at a time when serious discussion and debate are needed,” he said.
