The Hindu
During his 14-day leg in Maharashtra, the Congress leader will walk 381 km through 15 Assembly and six parliamentary constituencies
The entire town of Degloor in Nanded district of Maharashtra was aglow with mashals (flaming torches) as the Bharat Jodo Yatra spearheaded by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi arrived here.
More than 3,000 torches were lit to welcome the Wayanad MP in the manner befitting the Maharashtrian tradition at the giant statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.
His yatra entered the State from Telangana where he carried on his walkathon for 15 days.
Addressing a huge gathering, Mr. Gandhi said “come what may, no force on earth could stop the yatra until it reaches the destination at Srinagar as scheduled. The transient impediments caused by inimical forces or natural calamities will not deter me.”
He took a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for being ‘insensitive’ in not controlling the rising prices of essential commodities and fuel.
As soon as Mr. Gandhi set his foot on Maratha land, slogans rented the air: “ Jaat paat ka bandan todo, Bharat Jodo Bharat Jodo; Nafrat chodo, Bharat jodo; Rahul ji tum aage badoo, hum tumhare saat hai.”
From the Shivaji Maharaj statue, Mr. Gandhi walked for nine km and offered prayers at Gurdwara Yaadgari Baba Zoravar Singh ji, Fate Singh Ji at Vanali.
