Jaipur : Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot said on Thursday that the Centre is “shaken” by the Congress’ Bharat Jodo Yatra.
He said the journey started from Kanyakumari and has “got tremendous support in all the states it has passed through because of which the Centre is shaken”.
“The way the journey started from Kanyakumari. It has come to Rajasthan via Kanyakumari, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh… So the central government has been shaken,” Gehlot told reporters here.
He said, “I had commented seven days back. I will add it in the same form that it has really shaken. I guessed it right earlier… They are scared. What was the need for flurry? So, it has led to their embarrassment, I believe.” Gehlot had on Wednesday reacted sharply to Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya’s letter urging Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to consider suspending his ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ if adherence to Covid protocols cannot be followed.
He had claimed that fearing the growing public support for the yatra, the BJP wants to disturb it.
