Jairam Ramesh said – This is not an election journey
Party General Secretary Jairam Ramesh held a press conference on Saturday, January 13 regarding Congress’s Nyay Yatra. He said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is showing golden dreams of Amritkaal, but the reality is that the last 10 years have been a period of injustice.
He further said that social, economic and political injustice has happened in the last 10 years, keeping that in mind Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra is being taken out. Rahul Gandhi will go among the public and tell about what is in the mind of the Congress Party. This is an ideological journey, not an election journey.
Politics on travel permission
Even before the start of Congress’s Nyaya Yatra, permission was in the news. The party was going to start it from Imphal, the capital of Manipur. For this, on January 2, he had sought permission from the state government to start the yatra from Hapta Kangjeibung ground.
Earlier this was refused citing law and order. However, on January 10, permission was granted with certain conditions. The government said that not more than 1 thousand people will be allowed at the venue. After this, Manipur Congress President Keesham Meghchandra said that the conditions were worrying for us. After this we decided to change the place to Thoubal. The Thoubal administration put a condition before the Congress that this program should end in 1 hour and there should not be a crowd of more than 3 thousand.
Trying to win 25 seats in North East by starting the journey from Manipur
The journey has been started from Thoubal keeping in mind the North-Eastern states. Strategists believe that people have become disillusioned with the BJP due to the violence in Manipur. This is the reason why Rahul Gandhi will stay here for 13 days for 25 seats of North-East.
In fact, more than 200 deaths have occurred so far in the ongoing violence between the Kuki and Meitei communities in Manipur since May 3. At the same time, more than a thousand people have been injured. More than 65 thousand people have become homeless.
