Addressing the people at the conclusion ceremony of the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, Rahul Gandhi said, “There is a word ‘Shakti’ in Hinduism. We are fighting against a Shakti. The question is, what is that Shakti. The soul of the King is in the EVM. This true. The soul of the King in the EVM and every institution of the country, in ED, CBI and Income Tax department,” PTI reported.

“We had to undertake the journey because today the media does not raise important issues of the country – Unemployment, inflation, farmers issue, Agniveer issue. All these issues are not visible in the media today,” Gandhi said.

Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra concluded at Shivaji Park

Rahul Gandhi concluded his Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra with a rally at Shivaji Park, in the presence of the INDIA bloc’s several prominent leaders. Joining him are Tamil Nadu chief minister MK Stalin, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav and Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Udhaav Thackrey.

Upon his arrival, Gandhi paid homage to the statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and visited the memorial of Shiv Sena founder Bal Thackeray to offer his respects. Notably, Shivaji Park has long served as a venue for rallies and gatherings of the Shiv Sena.

The last Congress rally at this venue was addressed by Sonia Gandhi in 2003.
