"It (Kerala) does not allow itself to be divided nor does it allow hatred to spread in the state," Rahul Gandhi said during the Congress's Bharat Jodo Yatra
Kerala respects everyone in the state and does not allow itself to be divided or hatred to spread here and therefore, the Bharat Jodo Yatra is an extension of these ideas, said Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday at the culmination of the fifth day of the yatra here.
Addressing thousands who had joined the yatra during the course of the day, Gandhi said, "Standing together, working together in harmony is natural and normal for the people of Kerala and you have shown this to the rest of the country." He further said the reason the State has a good education system and the "most compassionate nurses" is because "Kerala respects everyone in Kerala".
"It does not allow itself to be divided nor does it allow hatred to spread in the state. So in a sense, Bharat Jodo Yatra is just an extension of the ideas that prevail in Kerala," he added.
He also said the message Congress was trying to spread through the yatra was "not a new message".
