The BJP is now trying to divert the attention of the people from the basic issues like unemployment, price hike, failure and heavy taxes.
Criticized BJP for its diversionary politics, she said the BJP infact is scared of INDIA alliance and was trying to divert the attention of the general public from the basic issues. They have raked up new issue with its move to change name from India to Bharat. Those who have any doubt, must read Constitution of India. There is no difference at all between India and Bharat. They are just making issue out of `no issue’, she maintained.
AICC leader said that BJP is under utter frustration after the coming together of most of the political parties under one banner of INDIA alliance and has been increasingly engaged in its diversionary and divisive tactics, instead of dealing with the economic and social challenges from within and outside to our territorial integrity. She said BJP is scared of defeat and has started diversionary politics whereas it was Bharat Chhodo Andolan led by Congress party under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi in 1942 and the name of our Yatra is Bharat Jodo Yatra, so it is the BJP which has suddenly got problem with the name INDIA but for us India and Bharat is one and the same thing and duly recognized as such in the Constitution of India.
JKPCC president Vikar Rasool Wani said that the Bharat Jodo Yatra has made a mark in the history as it was unique initiative by Rahul Gandhi during a time when the country faced great social and economic challenges . He said that the people of J&K will remember for ever Rahul Gandhi for his tireless efforts to extend a helping hand and give voice to the suffering people of J&K.
