Quotes
V D Satheesan
Kerala Congress leader and politician who recalled participating in the Bharat Jodo Yatra.
“On this day four years ago, the historic #BharatJodoYatra set out from Kanyakumari to defend the soul of our democracy and unite hearts across India. Walking alongside you, I witnessed firsthand that incredible energy from wide-eyed little children to dynamic Gen Z youth and people from every walk of life. Then it was the historic foot march of Bharat Jodo; today, it is the transformational resonance of #ChhatronKiGoonj echoing the aspirations of our youth.”

“Rahul Gandhi was its hero. Rahul Gandhi and the Congress raised the great idea of India throughout the journey. The divisive politics of the Sangh Parivar were exposed. That historic journey ended with the opening of shops of love in the market of hatred.”
