What Did Congress Achieve With Bharat Jodo Yatra In Karnataka, Asks State Minister K Sudhakar
In a series of tweets, Sudhakar, who was formerly with the Congress, said the Yatra is the party's self-realisation in admitting the blunder of dividing society on the basis of caste and religion.
A day after the Congress completed the Karnataka leg of its Bharat Jodo Yatra, the state's Health Minister, K Sudhakar, said Monday he wondered whether it served any purpose. In a series of tweets, Sudhakar, who quit the Congress in 2019, a year after being elected an MLA on the party's ticket, and joined the BJP, said the foot march is a self-realisation in admitting the blunder of dividing society on the basis of caste and religion.
"With #BharatJodoYatra coming to an end in #Karnataka, the big question remains is whether it really served any purpose other than @INCIndia's classic divide and rule politics?" Sudhakar said.
"While the whole world is praising the new India under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his efforts in putting the nation in the forefront, the Congress is simply busy walking on the path of illusion called #BharatJodoYatra!" Sudhakar said.
The minister said that only a researcher can provide some insight into what Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and the party were able to achieve in Karnataka during the rallies they did as part of the yatra.
He questioned: "Is Bharat Jodo Yatra a self-realisation of @INCIndia in admitting its blunder of dividing the society on the basis of caste & religion?" Taking a dig at the Karnataka Congress, Sudhakar said the yatra should have been named as 'Jodo Siddhu DK', pointing at the alleged differences between the two senior Congress leaders in the state — former chief minister Siddaramaiah and the party's state chief, DK Shivakumar.
The Bharat Jodo Yatra, which the Congress says is being taken out against the "rising divisive forces that are spreading hatred in the country", entered Karnataka on September 30 and ended on October 23. The yatra is now underway in neighbouring Telangana.
