Only two-three business houses are controlling the country while price rise and unemployment are at peak but the country’s issues are being diverted elsewhere: Congress leader
He said the Congress leaders, who are leaving the party are under pressure, “TheBJP has better means to pressurise them than I do, but, seriously the fight is not with the political party. Now they have the agencies that do their work wherever they have placed their people.”

Rahul Gandhi said there is an attempt to force one vision in the country. He said bringing the opposition together and the yatra are two separate things, adding that the two coming together would be a good thing.
He quoted a young girl with whom he had interacted during the yatra and said that the people of India living in harmony is Bharat, but the country is being divided between religious lines and state lines.
“Only two-three business houses are controlling the country while price rise and unemployment are at peak but the country’s issues are being diverted elsewhere,” said Gandhi.
Rahul Gandhi is leading the 3,570 km Bharat Jodo Yatra which will traverse through 12 states and two Union Territories.
