Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra on Thursday entered West Bengal. Congress president Adhir Chowdhury welcomed the Congress MP in Bengal. The yatra entered West Bengal through Bakshirhat in Cooch Behar district
The Congress leader exuded confidence that the opposition INDIA bloc will fight against injustice across the country.
“We have attached the word ‘Nyay’ (justice) in the yatra as injustice is prevailing across the country. BJP and RSS are spreading hatred and violence. The INDIA bloc will fight against injustice across the country,” he said.
The ‘Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra’ has concluded in Assam, passing through Golakganj, Dhubri district.
Gandhi, accompanied by other senior leaders visited a tea stall, where he interacted with people, mostly from the economically backward section. “Rahul Gandhi’s visit to my tea stall comes as a surprise. It is good to have him here,” the tea stall owner said.

Banerjee said that her Trinamool Congress Party (TMC) will fight alone in the state in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.
“I had given them (Congress) a proposal (on seat sharing) but they refused it at the outset. Our party has now decided to go alone in Bengal,” Banerjee said.
