'BJP spreading Hindu-Muslim hatred to divert attention', says Rahul Gandhi at Red Fort

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday slammed the Narendra Modi government after the ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ reached the iconic Red Fort in New Delhi.

“It is not Narendra Modi's government. It is Ambani and Adani government. Hindu-Muslim is being done to divert attention from the real issues. Today degree holder youths are selling ‘pakoras’,” Rahul Gandhi said at a rally.

“I walked 2,800 km so far. Throughout my journey, I didn't see any hatred… But the BJP is busy spreading Hindu-Muslim hatred 24x7,” Gandhi said as Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, veteran actor Kamal Hassan and other leaders of the party joined him at



Red Fort.

Hitting out at the TV news channels, Gandhi said, “I have not seen violence, hatred anywhere in the country while walking hundreds of kms. But I see it on TV all the time."

The yatra halted near the Red Fort in the evening. Kamal Hassan was the latest celebrity to join Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Yatra.

Gandhi also alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP spent thousands of crores “to destroy my image, but I showed the truth to the country in just a month”.

“On my request, you have opened lakhs of shops to spread love in the country,” Gandhi told the Congress supporters.
