Dhanbad (Jharkhand): There is no stopping Rahul Gandhi as he resumed his Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra from Jharkhand. The Yatra started at 8 am on Koyalanchal. The journey passed through Govindpur Lal Bazar Chowk, where a felicitation programme was organised by Congress workers.

After Govindpur Lal Bazar Chowk, the march passed through Saraidhela Raghukul, the residence of Jharia MLA Purnima Neeraj Singh. From Saraidhela it proceeded via the steel gate and through the police line. Party workers made full-fledged preparations to felicitate Rahul Gandhi in the police line.

Rahul Gandhi on Sunday met coal workers and their families in Godhar Kali Basti. "They neither have permanent work, nor any guarantee of income, nor do they get the benefit of any central government scheme. It is written on their faces that the Modi government has pushed both their present and future into the darkness of helplessness," Gandhi said in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.

"Their eyes ask the coal traders, how long will there be glitter in your share and soot in our destiny? Only by giving these families a secure tomorrow along with solid arrangements for their education, an earning and medicine will there be justice for these workers who built India. And only Congress will provide them this justice because we believe that the future of the country lies in the future of the workers," added Gandhi.

This time we have started the journey from Manipur to Maharashtra, in which we have added the word 'Justice'. This is because economic injustice is happening in the country. All your assets are being handed over to selected capitalists of the country. Along with this, this Yatra is against the unemployment that has spread due to demonetisation and GST. Earlier you used to get employment in PSUs and all of them are being privatized one by one. If this continues, the Narendra Modi government will also hand over Jharkhand's steel industry to its capitalist friends".
