Kolkata : Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra has entered West Bengal today. Unlike Assam, the Nyaya Yatra has been kept smaller in West Bengal. In Assam, the distance covered under Nyay Yatra was 833 kilometers, whereas for West Bengal this distance is only 523 kilometers. Rahul Gandhi’s yatra, which will pass through 17 districts of Assam, will cover only 7 districts in West Bengal, including Malda and Murshidabad, considered Congress strongholds.
In West Bengal, Congress State President Adhir Ranjan Choudhary welcomed Rahul Gandhi. While talking to the press in Cooch Behar, Rahul accused BJP and RSS of promoting hatred. He said, BJP and RSS together are promoting hatred and spreading violence across the country. He further said, the word ‘justice’ has been added in this journey because injustice is prevalent in the entire country. India alliance will fight against injustice in the entire country.
