Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Saturday reached Godda in Jharkhand as part of his 19th day of the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra. He launched a scathing attack on the BJP and RSS, accusing them of spreading hatred and dividing the country.
Addressing a gathering in Sarkanada, Rahul said, “Our fight is against the hatred and fear that is filled in the hearts of the BJP-RSS people. They do politics of hatred and fear. They are pitting one caste against another, one religion against another, and tribals against non-tribals.”
“We have come to Jharkhand with the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra to unite everyone against this hatred and open a shop of love,” he added.
Rahul also accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of waiving off the loans of billionaires while ignoring the plight of farmers. “PM Modi has waived off the loans of billionaires, but the loans of farmers can never be waived off. In the Congress government, the loans of farmers worth Rs 72,000 crore were waived off,” he said.

Rahul accuses BJP of trying to topple Jharkhand government
On Friday, while addressing a gathering in Pakur, Jharkhand, Rahul Gandhi accused the BJP of trying to topple the state government.
“The BJP once again tried to topple and destabilize the government that was elected by the people of Jharkhand. However, I.N.D.I.A did not allow the BJP’s conspiracy to succeed.
