Rahul, who has been on a Bharat Jodo Yatra for the past 100-plus days, also claimed a “massive undercurrent” against the BJP. However, he said, merely going to the people seeking votes would not be enough. The BJP could be defeated in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, he said, if the Opposition could “coordinate properly” and go to the people with an “alternative vision”
Meanwhile, breaking his silence on the controversy over his security detail days after sources in the CRPF claimed that he had violated protocol 113 times over the last two years, senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said on Saturday that BJP leaders too had violated protocol but have never received a letter from the security agencies.
He said the government wants him to undertake the Bharat Jodo Yatra in a bulletproof vehicle, which is not acceptable to him.
Gandhi’s comments came days after sources in the CRPF while responding to the Congress’s allegations on his security, said that it had made complete security arrangements for the Bharat Jodo Yatra’s Delhi leg and that Gandhi himself had violated protocol 113 times over the last two years.
