Hisar, January 8

Congress general secretary Kumari Selja on Monday said the party’s Jansandesh Yatra in the state, which would cover all 10 Lok Sabha constituencies, would begin from here on January 17.

The yatra ahead of the Lok Sabha elections scheduled for April-May would start from the new vegetable market in Hisar. After covering the Lok Sabha constituency on January 17 and 18, it would enter Bhiwani, she said.

Addressing a press conference, Selja, the former state President of Haryana Congress, said the message of senior party leader Rahul Gandhi and party President Mallikarjun Kharge would be taken to every house in the state through the yatra.

The yatra would strengthen Congress in the 10 parliamentary constituencies in Haryana and ensure its victory, she said.

People are angry with BJP due to the party’s ‘anti-people’ policies, Selja claimed.

“During the Jansandesh Yatra, information about the welfare schemes of Congress will be given while the anti-people policies of BJP will be exposed,” she said.

Replying to a question, she said, “The role of the opposition is to keep the government alert, but BJP is busy destroying democracy.”

She also said that Congress would hold Bharat Nyay Yatra led by Rahul Gandhi from Manipur to Mumbai—from east to west of India in 67 days—beginning on January 14.

Earlier, Gandhi had taken out the Bharat Jodo Yatra from Kashmir to Kanyakumari, Selja said.

Selja said there are several issues like unemployment and inflation in the country, “but the present government is trying to confuse the people”.

The former Union minister also alleged that the government is taking unfair advantage of agencies like Enforcement Directorate to suppress the voice of the opposition leaders.

“The leader who joins BJP out of fear is suddenly proven clean,” she alleged.
