Mumbai: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi concluded his much-discussed Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra in Mumbai today by reading out the preamble of the Indian Constitution. He also paid tribute to Dr. BR Ambedkar at his memorial service at Chaityabhoomi in central Mumbai. The former Congress president was accompanied by his sister, who is also the party’s general secretary, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, according to a report by news agency PTI.
Earlier, at a public meeting in Dharavi area, he reiterated Congress’s promise of a caste census and claimed that poor women would get Rs 1 lakh in their bank accounts every year if his party returns to power.
At ‘Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra’, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi says, ‘…In the previous yatra we opened ‘Mohabbat ki dukan nafrat ki baazar main’, people told me that I had walked 4000 km but I had not covered many areas , like , Odisha, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Bengal, Assam, Bihar and I should start another yatra. We started our second yatra from Manipur and it comes to an end in Mumbai. This yatra does not end in Mumbai, but in Dharavai… In India, the fight is between skill and ‘dalaal’ (brokers), which means the skill (Dharavi) and dalaal (Adani), that is why I have added the ‘Nyay’ word in the yatra…’
