‘My innings could conclude with Bharat Jodo Yatra’
“This is a challenging time for Congress & the country as a whole. BJP-RSS has captured and subverted every single institution in the country. It has caused economic ruin by favoring a few businessmen,” Sonia Gandhi said during Congress’s three-day 85th plenary session of Congress in Raipur. The 85th plenary session of the Congress party began on Friday in Nava Raipur, Chhattisgarh.
Party chief Mallikarjun Kharge also addressed the session on Saturday. “We will face all challenges in the country. Bharat Jodo yatra was like sunshine for the nation. Thousands joined hands with Rahul Gandhi and proved that Congress is still in their hearts. Rahul inspired youth,” Kharge said.
“To stop this plenary session, the BJP conducted a raid on party workers’ residents. They arrested our workers. But we faced them and held this session,” added the Congress president.
Earlier on Saturday, Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra arrived in Raipur to attend the session. Chhattisgarh chief minister Bhupesh Baghel received Priyanka at the airport.
Congress workers laid flower petals on the street to welcome party general secretary Priyanka and other leaders in Raipur. The committee met on Friday morning and decided to go for nomination members to Congress Working Committee (CWC) in view of the challenges faced by the party and the proposed amendments to the party’s constitution.
Rahul Gandhi-led Bharat Jodo Yatra traversed 12 states and two Union territories in 145 days after its launch on September 7 last year and covered 4,080 km.
The yatra culminated with an event at the Congress headquarters in Srinagar and a mega rally on January 30.
