A person stated that Bharat Jodo Yatra in Jalandhar has caused a great level of inconvenience for the locals. He added that roads have been closed and routes diverted which has led people to follow the long route to reach their destinations.
Another person stated that this is a great initiative taken by Rahul Gandhi. She said, “the aim with which this yatra has started will bring a real change in the society. This party is bringing up the issues like unemployment, poverty, etc that are never addressed seriously by any other political party.”
A woman who was present there to witness the yatra expressed her disappointment regarding the inconvenience it was causing. She said, “instead of Bharat Jodo Yatra, it seems like Bharat Todo Yatra is going on because of the way people are being hurt and pushed by security personnel.”
A group of youngsters was also present during the yatra and stated “it’s a great initiative by Rahul Gandhi. At least there is a party who still believes to raise issues like unemployment, corruption, and poverty that are of real concern.”
