A large number of people will also participate in the Bharat Jodo rally to begin from Panipat, tomorrow. This rally shall create history in terms of public participation”, Hooda said.
“Rahul Gandhi’s campaign against inflation, unemployment and divisive politics in the name of caste-religion is getting tremendous support. From wherever the yatra is crossing, lakhs of people come and join it. Like the first phase in Haryana Rahul Gandhi’s dialogue with different social and civil society organizations will continue in the second phase, as well. He meets different sections including farmers, laborers, employees, businessmen and their representatives, discusses their problems and issues and gives voice to them. This is the reason why every section is feeling connected with this journey”, Hooda added.
