Rahul Gandhi resumed his Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra from Prayagraj on Sunday after meeting the family of the Forest Department watcher who was killed by a wild elephant in Wayanad. On Saturday, the Wayanad MP abruptly ended his “Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra” in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, and hurried to Wayanad in response to public outcry over locals’ deaths at the hands of wild elephant attacks. A large-scale protest was observed on Saturday in the Wayanad district’s Pakkam, close to Pulpally. The victim was attacked, according to Kerala Forest Minister AK Saseendran, when the elephant entered a neighborhood close to Mananthavady. On the other hand, the Kerala government promised a job to one of the deceased’s family members along with an Rs 10 lakh compensation.
Today, Rahul Gandhi will go forward through Katra, Netram, Lakshmi Talkies, Teliarganj and the Soraon area of the city.
Rahul’s Yatra will stop at Harisenganj and after an overnight stay at Sakramau in Mauaima, the Yatra will enter Pratapgarh district on the next day.
On Saturday, Rahul Gandhi pressed on the strength of working together while addressing the party’s Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra in Varanasi.
He asserted that the true devotion to the country lies in bringing the country together. He also claimed that members of BJP and RSS also came to the Yatra adding that he never saw hatred during the entire Yatra.
“During the entire ‘yatra’ I never saw hatred. Even BJP and RSS people came in the yatra, and as soon as they came to us, they would speak to us nicely. This country strengthens only when we work together. Bringing the country together is the true devotion to the country,” Rahul Gandhi said.
The goal of the 6,700-kilometer East-West Manipur-Mumbai Yatra is to meet ordinary people while promoting the idea of “nyay,” or justice. The route passes through 15 states.
