Nyay Yatra an ideological journey: Rahul Gandhi

CHIEPHOBOZOU: Asserting that his Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra is an ideological yatra, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday said the journey being undertaken is aimed at placing certain ideas on the table before the people and present an alternative vision to the divisive one of the BJP.

Addressing a press conference here on the third day of the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, Gandhi also launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi while talking about the Nagaland peace issue and alleged that the PM “promises things without thinking them through”.

“Why the Prime Minister has not acted, I am frankly the wrong person to ask that question to, because I don’t know his mind, I don’t know his approach, but, I do get the sense that the Prime Minister promises things without thinking them through,” Gandhi said.

“He made many promises, you know, to the youth of India, he made promises about education and employment and I think, he just made them and I get the sense that people are disturbed that the Prime Minister’s credibility is on the line and nothing has happened for nine years. We, of course, are committed to a solution to the problem over there (Nagaland),” he said.

Gandhi alleged that there was a “huge amount” of injustice taking place in the country.

The former Congress chief also said his previous Bharat Jodo Yatra had laid the foundation of an alternative vision which stated that “we do not want an India of hatred, a divided, broken India”.
