Congress leader and KPCC communications wing head Priyank Kharge said on Monday that the massive response to Bharat Jodo Yatra being led by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has ‘demoralised’ the BJP.
Speaking to media persons at Srirangapatna, he said BJP leaders are constantly trying to belittle the yatra besides stating that Mr. Rahul Gandhi cannot be taken seriously. Yet, they spend hours issuing statements about him and the yatra which indicates that they are perturbed over the manner in which the yatra was unfolding.
Mr. Kharge said the yatra has been organised to raise some pertinent questions pertaining to widening economic disparity, growing poverty and rising unemployment and the BJP at both the Centre and the State has no answer or credible defence. ‘’Hence they try to belittle the yatra and the Congress leaders in a desperate bid to deflect the key issues being raised by the yatra’’, according to Mr.Kharge.
