Gandhi, amid a cheering crowd, alleged that at present the country was fraught with hatred and violence.
He called it the battle between two contrary ideologies. One (of the BJP) which pertained to dividing the society and siphoning off peoples’ money to give it to a few chosen billionaires of the country, while the other (of Congress) which opens the ‘shop of love and affection in the market of hatred.
Highlighting how on people’s popular demand, he had embarked upon a second yatra called Bharat Jodo ‘Nyay’ Yatra from Manipur to Maharashtra, Rahul said that the word ‘Nyay’ in his Yatra this time, is a promise of justice to the sections including farmers, youth and poor who are facing injustice in the form of socio-economic disparities.
He said there were two nations, “One of 1% billionaires Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai, Shahrukh Khan, Virat Kohli, who appear on television. The other nation is of the poor, farmers and labourers, who are in majority but not shown anywhere.”
Rahul claimed that after unemployment and inflation, the third major issue was of social justice.
“The objective of Nyay Yatra is to raise voice against the injustice being meted out to farmers, labourers, unemployed and poor with whom countrymen as well as entire INDIA alliance will stand,” he added.
