KANYAKUMARI: Launching the ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ here on Wednesday, Congress’s Rahul Gandhi said “the country is headed towards disaster”, claiming it faces its worst ever financial crisis, coupled with the highest ever level of unemployment and price rise. At a public meeting, Rahul said the national flag — which embodies the guaranteed rights of freedom of religion and language — is under “assault”.
He also mentioned the “capture” of institutions by BJP. “They think they can frighten the opposition with ED, CBI, I-T. The problem is they don’t understand the people of India, that the people of India do not get scared. No matter how many hours of interrogation they resort to, not a single opposition leader is going to be scared of BJP,” Rahul said, to loud roar from the gathering by the sea under the evening clouds.
