Abash, Mohan Lal, Gopal Krishan, Suraj Choudhary, Sunil Kesri, Hans Raj Thakur, Shashi Manhas, Rakesh Sharma, Abay Sandhu besides others.
Raman Bhalla speaking on the occasion said that Yatra is a game changer, not for the Congress party, not for Rahul Gandhi but for the people of this country. For this is a Yatra to decisively raise a bugle against the rampant unemployment in India. This is also a yatra against the massive price rise which has broken the back of common people. This is also a yatra to fight hate and division.” Govt is scared of the response Bharat Jodo Yatra is getting. It has actually become a Jan Andolan, it’s a people’s movement. It’s no longer a Congress party movement. Yes, there are a lot of Congress people but it’s a people’s movement. People from all shades, people who used to criticise us, people who were bitterly opposed to us, they all have joined hands for the sake of the nation. And that’s why the BJP is running helter-skelter and is scared, added Bhalla.”
Bhalla alleged that the BJP has pushed the Jammu and Kashmir into unprecedented political uncertainty by failing to maintain law and order and indulging in politics of hate.”BJP ever since getting access to power in Delhi had been on a rampage of dispossessing and disempowering common people of Jammu and Kashmir. It’s not about a particular community or a sect, they have went berserk against all of us collectively. We have been used as political cannon fodders by BJP all across the country”, Bhalla said.
