Rahul Gandhi Yatra enters Odisha

Bhubaneswar: ‘Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra,’ led by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, on Tuesday entered Odisha at Biramitrapur in Sundargarh district from Jharkhand. The former Congress president was given a grand welcome by Odisha Congress leaders.

Addressing a gathering, Rahul said he has been listening to the people for seven to eight hours during the Yatra and addressing them for 15 minutes every day. He said he started the Yatra in order to seek justice for the people. Rahul called upon the people of Odisha to come forward with their issues which he will try to resolve.

“Nafrat ki bazaar mey mohabbat ki dukaan kholne aayaa hoon (Want to open the shop of love in the market of hatred),” Rahul said in his brief speech. On his arrival, Rahul was given a reception by the Odisha Pradesh Congress Committee (OPCC) members, including its president Sarat Pattanayak and other senior leaders. The OPCC also took the Yatra flag from its Jharkhand counterpart.
