After actress Pooja Bhatt, Bollywood actor Sushant Singh on Thursday took part in the 'Bharat Jodo Yatra.'

Speaking from the 'Bharat Jodo Yatra,' he attacked the BJP without mentioning its name. He attacked the BJP, claiming that some individuals in the country are inciting enmity. However, with all of these hate-filled politics, it is tough to pursue the road of love, and he also stated that Rahul Gandhi is on the same path, he said. 

The yatra, a mass interaction initiative of the Congress, will travel 3,750 kilometres before ending in Srinagar in January 2023.
