Rahul's 'Bharat Jodo Yatra' will enter UP on January 3, invitation sent to Smriti Irani

Amethi MP Smriti Irani has been sent a letter by a local Congress leader inviting her to join Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Yatra. Congress leader Deepak Singh on Thursday handed over an invitation letter to Amethi MP Smriti Irani's Assistant Private Secretary Naresh Sharma and invited the BJP MP to participate in the Bharat Jodo Yatra.

Former Legislative Council member Deepak Singh said, “I was instructed by senior party leaders to invite all of you to the Bharat Jodo Yatra. I thought that first of all the invitation letter should be given to Amethi MP Smriti Zubin Irani. I reached his camp office Gauriganj on 28 December and handed over the invitation letter to Naresh Sharma. He has accepted my invitation letter and said that I will deliver it to the MP.

Talking to BJP District President Durgesh Tripathi, he said that his job is to invite, but there is no question of the participation of Amethi MP and Union Minister or any office bearers and workers of BJP in this visit. He said, “BJP always works on the concept of united India. When India is not broken at all, then where did the talk of uniting it come from? That which breaks is joined. The yatra is being taken out by Rahul Gandhi to revive the dying Congress party, which has been named Bharat Jodo Yatra. Smriti Irani defeated former Congress President Rahul Gandhi in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. Rahul was a three-time MP from Amethi. Rahul Gandhi's yatra will enter Uttar Pradesh via Ghaziabad on January 3.
