MYSURU: Congress MP Rahul Gandhi addressed a public rally amid a heavy downpour in Mysuru during the ongoing ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ on Sunday.
Addressing the rally, Gandhi said, “This yatra is like a river that will flow from Kanyakumari to Kashmir. This journey will not stop due to heat, storm, rain or cold. In this river, you will not see any hatred or violence. The river will showcase love and brotherhood.”
“No one can stop us from uniting India. No one can stop us from raising the voice of India. We will go from Kanyakumari to Kashmir, no one can stop the Bharat Jodo Yatra,” he added.
Earlier on Sunday, Rahul Gandhi, along with party leaders, attended an event at Badanavalu near Nanjangud to mark the 153rd birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, on the 25th day of Bharat Jodo Yatra.
Rahul Gandhi offered floral tribute to the Mahatma Gandhi statue at Khadi Gramodyog, Badanavalu, at 8 am, followed by a prayer meeting. He visited Khadi Village Industries at Badnavalu in memory of Bapu, the Congress claimed.
