HYDERABAD : Congress leader and former Maharashtra Energy Minister Nitin Raut was admitted to a hospital in Hyderabad after sustaining injuries. Raut was injured in his right eye, hand, and leg as he fell down after being allegedly pushed by the police during the 55th day of the Bharat Jodo Yatra.
“I was in Bharat Joda Yatra and had already crossed Charminar. I was moving towards the stage when Rahul Gandhi’s convoy came, seeing which the police panicked and started pushing people here and there. The Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) pushed me hard by placing both hands over my chest. I fell near a barricade on the road and sustained injuries. I started bleeding and was then finally taken to a hospital,” Congress leader Nitin Raut told ANI on Wednesday. The incident took place after the Bharat Jodo Yatra resumed the march from Hyderabad city, which was briefly joined by actress-filmmaker Pooja Bhatt.

Earlier in the day, senior Congress leader and party president Mallikarjun Kharge interacted with Bharat Jodo Yatra marchers at Bowenpally in Hyderabad. Kharge, in his interaction, said that the marchers are also walking 3,500 km with Rahul Gandhi. “They bring positive energy to our Bharat Jodo Yatra and are a great source of inspiration to our party cadres”, he said. Kharge also claimed that Bharat Jodo Yatra is bringing a silent revolution that will change the political landscape.
While tweeting from its Twitter handle, Congress said that every day a new chapter of history is being added. Every day, the count of people is taking a jump who want love and peace in their country.
On Tuesday, Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) working president and minister K T Rama Rao (KTR) called Congress leader Rahul Gandhi a “wannabe PM” and hit back at him stating that the “international leader” should first convince his people to elect him as an MP than ridiculing Telangana Chief Minister KCR’s national party ambitions. “International leader Rahul Gandhi can’t even win his own Parliament seat in Amethi, and ridicules Telangana CM KCR’s national party ambition. The wannabe PM should first convince his people to elect him as an Member of Parliament,” tweeted KTR. (ANI)
