KANYAKUMARI: In his biggest public embrace of opposition unity amid attempts from various quarters at creating an anti-BJP bloc, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, while launching the launch the ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ here on Wednesday, said the Modi government’s “misuse” of agencies won’t “scare” any opposition leader, who will continue to fight BJP’s “divisive politics”. The widening of the arc of his attack by seemingly representing and defending all opposition leaders marks a major shift.
Rahul also said "the country is headed towards disaster" as it is facing its worst ever financial crisis, coupled with the highest ever level of unemployment and price rise.
At a public meeting on the southern tip of the country to launch the Bharat Jodo Yatra, Rahul said the national flag — which embodies the guaranteed rights of freedom of religion and language — is under assault.
