PM began visit today from Karnataka, Tamil Nadu; will visit Andhra Pradesh, Telangana; states recently covered by Rahul Gandhi's 'Bharat Jodo Yatra'
The Congress today said Prime Minister Narendra Modi's two-day visit to four southern states is an “impact of Bharat Jodo Yatra” led by Rahul Gandhi, which has traversed through these states since its start in September and is currently in Maharashtra.
“But no antics can match the connect from walking with and listening to the people,” tweeted Congress communications in-charge Jairam Ramesh, referring to Rahul Gandhi's 3,500-km ‘Unite India March‘ from Kanyakumari to Kashmir.
He called PM Modi “camera-jeevi” — a play on the term “andolan-jeevi” (‘habitual protesters') that the PM had fashioned from ‘buddhijeevi', the Hindi word for ‘intellectual'. “There will undoubtedly be big photo-ops,” the tweet said.
