NEW DELHI: On Wednesday, the BJP mocked the Congress’s “Bharat Nyay Yatra,” calling it “mere sloganeering,” and declared that it would not “fool” people. Meenakshi Lekhi, a senior BJP leader and union minister, claimed that by ensuring that development reaches everyone, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has brought justice to all. She said that during the Congress’ many decades in power, an unfair system was run and that people suffered from all forms of injustice, including social injustice.She stated that Modi has established the groundwork for social justice by bringing crores of people into the financial system through the opening of bank accounts, and that the banking system was a prime example of this injustice because bank loans were granted because of personal ties to those in charge of non-performing assets. Nalin Kohli, the national spokesperson for the BJP, also took aim at the Congress, stating that the opposition party is incapable of deceiving Indians with clever slogans. Rahul Gandhi, its leader, has been spotted with supporters of India’s “tukde-tukde” (division). Kohli claimed that the Congress leader travels overseas in an attempt to stifle foreign influence in the nation’s democracy.He stated that since 2014, Modi has been pursuing “real nyay,” or making sure that development benefits everyone and every part of the nation. To support his claims, he listed initiatives like electrification of every village, free rations for the underprivileged, the construction of homes with subsidies, and the availability of Mudra loans. “All of this is a result of PM Modi’s compassion for people.” Sloganing alone doesn’t make a difference. What has changed, he said, is your intention and dedication to putting good policies into place, which Modi is doing. The Congress said on Wednesday that it will start on January 14 and conduct a “Bharat Nyay Yatra” under Rahul Gandhi’s leadership from Manipur to Mumbai, covering 14 states and 85 districts.The yatra will come to an end on March 20, which is also when the next Lok Sabha election schedule is probably going to be revealed.
