Srinagar, Sep 07 (KNS): As Bharat Jodo Yatra (BJY) has completed its two years, the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi on Saturday said that voice of every Indian throughout the journey taught me something.

Taking to micro-blogging site X, the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi wrote: "The Bharat Jodo Yatra taught me the beauty of silence. In the midst of cheering crowds and slogans, I discovered the power to tune out the noise and focus entirely on the person next to me — to truly listen."

"In those 145 days and the two years since, I've listened to thousands of Indians from diverse backgrounds. Each voice has carried wisdom, teaching me something new, and each has represented our beloved Bharat Mata," he further added.
"The Yatra proved that Indians are inherently loving people. When I started this journey I said love will conquer hate and hope will defeat fear. Today, our mission remains the same - to ensure the voice of Bharat Mata, the voice of love is heard in every corner of our beloved country," Rahul Gandhi’s post further read.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp Channel
In addition, Congress senior leader and Rajya Sabha MP Jairam Ramesh also commented on the occasion, calling the Bharat Jodo Yatra a "massive booster dose" for the Congress party.

He hailed the transformational impact of the 4,000 km journey from Kanyakumari to Kashmir, led by over 200 Bharat Yatris alongside Rahul Gandhi.

"This yatra led to unprecedented connectivity and collectivity and was a massive booster dose for the Indian National Congress. It heralded a change in the politics of our country as well. It provided the impetus for the Manipur to Mumbai Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra during January-March 2024," the Rajya Sabha MP added.

Pertinently the Bharat Jodo Yatra, held between September 2022 and January 2023, saw Congress MP Rahul Gandhi walk over 4,080 km across 12 states and 2 Union Territories. It featured numerous public engagements including rallies, meetings, and press conferences. (KNS)
