One of the big ideas behind Bharat Jodo Yatra is that of our leader Rahul Gandhi. They believe that the economic inequalities that are there, due to inflation, due to unemployment, due to GST, the economic challenges that our Country is facing, the inequalities are increasing, so keeping these in view, because they are dividing in a way. It is because of the economic inequalities of the society, so that is why India has to be united,” said Gupta.
Congress Legislature Party Deputy Leader, Pradeep Yadav said that the purpose of Bharat Jodo Yatra is to eradicate economic inequalities, which are visible in our Country today, inflation, unemployment, GST, to show the economic inequalities that are increasing. Why India is in a position to unite Today, it is necessary to connect India because India is breaking up and the first reason for breaking up is economic inequalities, increasing economic inequalities,” said Gupta.
