Cooch Behar: As the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra entered Bengal, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in a conciliatory tone said that the INDIA bloc will fight 'Anyay' together. The comments come a day after Mamata Banerjee vowed that she would fight the Lok Sabha polls alone in her state West Bengal.
The Wayanad MP said that he is happy to have come to West Bengal. "I am happy to have come to West Bengal. We have come here to listen to you and stand with you...BJP-RSS are spreading hatred, violence and injustice. So, INDIA formation is going to fight 'Anyay' together" he said.

The Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra crisscrossed West Bengal from Assam this morning. Assam Congress chief Angika Dutta handed over the 'tricolour' to the party's Bengal unit president Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury.
"A year ago we did the 4000 Km long Bharat Jodo Yatra, traversing from Kanyakumari to Jammu and Kashmir. We opened Mohabbat Ki Dukkan in Nafrat Ka Bazaar (a shop of love in the market of hatred). Now we are moving from Imphal to Mumbai. Today we are entering West Bengal from Assam. I want to wholeheartedly thank the Congress workers in Assam. You managed the (arrangements of the) Yatra very brilliantly. You have changed the politics of Assam, and for this, I thank you wholeheartedly. I am happy to have come to West Bengal. We have come here to listen to you and stand with you," Rahul said.

"We have added the word Nyay in our Yatra, because BJP-RSS are spreading hatred, violence and injustice in the country" the Congress MP added.
The Yatra, flagged off from Manipur's Imphal on January 14, will conclude in Mumbai on March 20. (with ANI inputs)
