On Tuesday, the Kerala Congress gathered for the ‘Bharat Joda Yatra‘. Despite the rain, hundreds of Congress leaders and supporters were seen walking on the streets without umbrellas. Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi has started the 3500 km distance from Kanyakumari to Kashmir.
Rahul Gandhi said that the people involved in the yatra have developed ulcers (sores on the feet due to excessive walking), but the campaign will continue. A large number of people were seen standing on the roadside to greet Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and the passengers.
Congress leaders including Rahul Gandhi were walking on the streets without umbrellas during the rain. In a Facebook post, Rahul wrote that we are out to unite the country even if our feet get sore. We will not stop. He also shared a video clip related to it. Such an incident took place on the third day of the Kerala Congress ‘Bharat Jodo’ tour. The journey started from Kanyappuram near Kazakottam at around 7.15 am. An enthusiastic crowd was seen in Kerala for the last two days.
