1. He said further that people are freezing in this severe cold. We wear jackets to protect us from cold, but Rahul Gandhi is managing with just a T-shirt in this severe winter in his ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’. Rahul Gandhi is a yogi.
2. Khurshid also said that Prabhu Shriram could not reach everywhere; therefore, Bharat used to take His ‘khadau (wooden sleepers)’ where Shriram could not go. Similarly, we have reached Uttar Pradesh with the ‘khadau’ and believe Prabhu Shriram will also reach there.
3. Rahul Gandhi is leading the ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ of Congress that was started on the 7th of September 2022 from Kanyakumari. It has passed through different States, viz. Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Haryana, and Delhi. After about eight days break, it will be resumed and go through Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, and Punjab, and will lastly, move towards Jammu-Kashmir.
