Speaking with the media, Rahul Gandhi said, โWe were having a general discussion, I myself wanted to travel but then Covid came and the journey was postponed. Bharat Jodo Yatra is also a way for me to fight against BJP and I am getting to learn a lot about India from this journey. Fighting against the Institutional capturing of the BJP is not a two-minute job, but Bharat Jodo Yatra is a good step against it.โ
Rahul Gandhi said, โBharat Jodo Yatra is an ideology, a symbol, and a way to clearly articulate another ideology against the ideology of BJP. All our leaders will fight unitedly, fight together and the Congress party will win the elections.โ

He said that Congress believes in democracy and does not run a dictatorship. He said, โYou saw that just a few days ago there was an election in the Congress party, we democratically elected our new president. It is our DNA that we do not run a Dictatorship. If you havenโt seen then many Congress people are coming, many non-Congress people are coming and even workers of other parties are also coming to join this yatra.โ
Rahul Gandhi said, โIt was the Congress party that came up with the socio-economic caste census. The census should be in the public domain. People need to understand the makeup of the Indian population.โ
Rahul Gandhi said, โThe Congress party has demonstrated that it is a democratic party by electing the partyโs president. I wonder when will the election of RSS/BJP or TRS take place? Because the press always asks about democracy in our party but they never dare to ask BJP.โ
