Now Congress Should Go To Pakistan For Bharat Jodo Yatra; Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sharma Lashes Out.

Delhi: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sharma lashed out against the Congress's Bharat Jodo Yatra. Himanta Biswa Sharma quipped that party leader Rahul Gandhi should conduct the Bharat Jodo Yatra in Pakistan. India was partitioned in 1947 under the Congress. Now Congress should go to Pakistan for "Bharat Jodo Yatra. Himanta Biswa Sharma said that since India is united, Rahul Gandhi should make this trip to Pakistan.

Congress Leader Jairam Ramesh responded to Himanta Biswa Sharma's taunt. Jairam Ramesh taunted Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sharma that he was childish and immature and was only making statements to prove his loyalty to his new masters. Congress is starting the "Bharat Jodo Yatra" from Kanyakumari to Kashmir on Wednesday. Starting from the southern Kanyakumari district, the yatra will cover 12 states and two union territories. The five-month-long journey will end in Kashmir after covering 3,500 km. Starting from Kanyakumari in Tamil Nadu, it will move north through Thiruvananthapuram, Kochi, Nilambur, Mysuru, Bellary, Raichur, Vikarabad, Nanded, Jalgaon, Indore, Kota, Dausa, Alwar, Bulandshahr, Delhi, Ambala, and Pathankot. It ends in Jammu and Srinagar. Taking a jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi's monthly radio programme Man Ki Baat, the Congress said on Monday that its "Bharat Jodo Yatra" is in no way "Mann Ki Baat" and aims to ensure that people's concerns and demands reach Delhi. Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh said that "Bharat Jodo" is necessary as the country is being divided. "The first reason for division is economic inequality, the second is social polarization, and the third is political centralization. States' rights are being usurped. "So now it is important to unite the country," he said.
