The Congress on Saturday issued a “charge sheet” against the Narendra Modi government, calling the BJP a “party of Bhrasht Jumla” and saying its mantra is “kuch ka saath, khud ka vikas, sabke saath vishwasghaat” (for the benefit of the few, development for self and betrayal of all)’.
The opposition party also said that Rahul Gandhi, who is leading the Bharat Jodo Yatra, will unfurl the national flag at the office of the Pradesh Congress Committee in the Lal Chowk area of Srinagar, followed by a public meeting at the Sher-e-Kashmir Stadium at the culmination of the Kanyakumari march to Kashmir.
At a press conference at the AICC headquarters here, Congress general secretary in-charge of communication Jairam Ramesh and organization in-charge of general secretary K C Venugopal also unveiled the logo of the party’s post-yatra program — Haath Se Haath Jodo Abhiyan’.
The logo is similar to that of the Bharat Jodo Yatra, but the only difference is that it has the Congress hand symbol on it, signifying that it will be a 100% political campaign, which cannot be said for a cross-country march, Ramesh said. .
Venugopal said that as part of the Congress campaign, which begins on January 26, the party will take an “indictment” and Rahul Gandhi’s letter with the yatra message to every household.
The charge sheet released by the two leaders called the BJP ‘Bhrasht Jumla Party’ and alleged that its mantra is “Kuch ka saath, khud ka vikas, sabke saath vishwasghat (for the benefit of few, development for self and betrayal of all)”, an apparent rip-off of the government’s slogan ” sabka-saath-sabka-vikas-sabka-vishwas-sabka-prayas”.
The one-page ‘charge sheet’ shared by the Congress is divided into three parts – ‘kuch ka saath’, ‘khud ka vikas’ and ‘sabke saath vishwasghaat’.
Under the “kuch ka saath” (for the benefit of the few) segment of the “fees card”, the party claimed to be waiving loans for a select few entrepreneurs, with the top 10 percent owning 64 percent of India’s wealth and ports and airports. being “gifted” by the Prime Minister’s “close friends”.
