New Delhi: Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge today slammed the BJP over its comments on the Bharat Jodo Yatra. He said that the saffron party is in fear due to the Bharat Jodo Yatra and is taking the excuse of Covid to stop it.
Speaking on the ongoing Covid threat, he said there is no Covid anywhere and that nothing has happened to anyone. "PM Modi himself doesn't wear a mask. All this is being done to create fear among people & break this Yatra," Kharge said.
