New Delhi: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday met Indians in San Francisco, US and criticized the Center for trying to stop his ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’. Speaking at the program ‘Mohabbat Ki Dukan’, he also said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was “threatening” people and “misusing” government agencies.
Rahul Gandhi, who is on a week-long visit to the US, said, “Bharat Jodo Yatra started because the means we needed to connect with the people were controlled by the BJP-RSS.”
He said his Bharat Jodo Yatra, which started from Kanyakumari on September 7 last year and passed through 12 states before ending in Jammu and Kashmir in January, had brought a sense of ‘affection, respect and humility’.
He said that if one studies the history, it can be seen that all spiritual leaders including Guru Nanak Dev Ji, Guru Basavanna Ji, Narayan Guru Ji united the country in this way.

He said, “I think if you make Modi ji sit next to God, Modi ji will start explaining to God how the universe works.”
Gandhi said India is not what it is being shown in the media which likes to promote a political narrative that is far from reality, adding that there is a ‘massive distortion’ in it.
