In related news, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi Friday alleged that the BJP tried to destabilise the popularly elected Jharkhand government but the “conspiracy” was thwarted by the INDIA bloc, who stood up and did not allow the saffron party to “steal the popular mandate”.
Gandhi entered the eastern state on Friday with his Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra and was accorded a warm welcome with newly appointed Chief Minister Champai Soren also present on the occasion.
Addressing the gathering, the Wayanad MP alleged the BJP has “money power and probe agencies” but he and the Congress are not scared of them and will keep on fighting against the ruling party’s “divisive ideology”.
The former Congress president said that while the earlier Bharat Jodo Yatra was against the “divisive agenda” of the RSS and the BJP, the current yatra is seeking justice for the people of the country.
The BJP once again tried to steal and destabilise a government which had been elected by the people of Jharkhand, Gandhi said.
The Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) stood up against the BJP’s “conspiracy” and did not let it “steal the popular mandate”, he said.
There is widespread injustice prevailing across the country, including “back-breaking price rise and increasing unemployment”. It is impossible for the youth to get employment in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s India, he added.
