Congress leader Rahul Gandhi continued his tirade against billionaire industrialist Gautam Adani during his visit to Dharavi, one of the largest slum clusters in the world, on Saturday.
He underscored the significance of Dharavi’s residents, affirming, “Desh dalal nahi, Dharavi ke log banate hai [the nation is shaped by the people of Dharavi, not by brokers].”
Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra joined the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra led by her brother on the final day, as it made its way to Dharavi before it concluded at Dadar’s Chaityabhoomi, the memorial of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. The 6,000 kilometre long yatra, which began from the conflict-ridden Manipur on January 14, entered Mumbai on Saturday after covering 110 districts in 16 States in 63 days. In its last leg, the yatra crossed into Maharashtra from neighbouring Gujarat on March 12 and passed through Nandurbar, Dhule, Malegaon, Nashik, Palghar, and Thane before it reached the country’s financial capital.
