During the Yatra, Congress will also raise the serious issues India is facing such as high inflation, unemployment, social polarization, farmers’ distress, suppression of dissent, economic and political issues and threats to freedom of speech that are rising.

Congress to hold pressers in 22 cities on August 29 against inflation in the country, to give slogan of ‘Delhi Chalo’ Congress, during the yatra, will also take up the issue of alleged suppression of the voices of people and denying constitutional rights in the country.

“Efforts are being made in a systematic manner to subvert our Constitution, dismantle our institutions, hollow out our democracy, and destroy our unity and fraternity. State governments are being destabilized by money power and misuse of agencies. Dalits, Adivasis, and backward classes are being deprived of their basic rights — jal, jangal and zameen,” the Congress stated also in a pamphlet.

The pamphlet also blamed the government for “working mainly for the wealthy rich” and not focusing on the majority of people.

Senior leaders will hold discussions over ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ as it is the need of the hour, says Congress.

As a prelude to the yatra to build up the momentum, Rahul Gandhi interacts with dignitaries at Constitution Club “We stand at the 101st rank in the World Hunger Index, which means we are becoming a Vishwaguru in hunger. Farmers are unable to recover their costs, as the prices of fertilizers, seeds, etc increase. On the one hand, prices are rising, and on the other, farmers don’t have prices guaranteed for their crops. Small businesses and traders were hit hard by COVID-19. People working outside formal jobs like labourers and street vendors have also been badly hit,” Congress says.
