All India Congress Committee (AICC) leader Jairam Ramesh on Tuesday said Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was hellbent on sabotaging Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Yatra, which will enter Kerala from the Kanyakumari district in Tamil Nadu on September 11.
Mr. Ramesh cryptically added: “Prime Minister Narendra Modi has friends in many political parties. The BJP is capable of mischief. But the yatra will progress against all odds”.
He called the yatra a political mobilisation against the rising economic inequality, sundering of India's secular social fabric, senseless GST regime, spiralling cost of living, concentration of power in the Central government, and its misemployment of constitutional agencies as weapons to wreak political vendetta.
