Yadav had been released from Raipur Central Jail on Friday. An accused in the Baloda Bazar arson case, he spent 7 months in jail before his release. He has been released after getting bail from the Supreme Court.
"I will always follow the path shown by Baba Saheb Bhimrao Ambedkar and continue the fight for social justice. Under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi, Congress will always work for public interest and democratic values. At present, farmers, labourers, tribals, Dalits, women and youth are all deprived of their rights," Yadav said.
According to him, Congress has always fought for the poor and the exploited. "We will continue to work for the poor. Our fight for equality in the country will continue. I want to see the end of the politics of hatred," he added.
