12 Sep 2022 Evaluate

Former Union Minister and Congress leader Jairam Ramesh today said, a strong Congress is an important pillar of Opposition unity and its allies should understand that the party will not allow itself to be weakened.

Jairam asserted that the ‘Bharat Jodo’ is not an exercise for opposition unity. He also noted that the 'Bharat Jodo Yatra' was aimed at strengthening the party organisation but 'if it brings unity in Opposition, we welcome it. He further said the 'Bharat Jodo Yatra' has infused new energy in party organisation and claimed that BJP is 'rattled' by the kind of support 'Bharat Jodo Yatra' led by Rahul Gandhi has garnered.

Ramesh said with the yatra in its fifth day having gone through Tamil Nadu and now in Kerala, there is ‘new enthusiasm and energy’ in the party organisation. There is a lot of enthusiasm in other states as well. Responding to a question on attack and counter attacks between the BJP and the Congress, he said the RSS and the BJP are not ready for aggressive responses from the Congress.
