Hyderabad: BJP supporters raised slogans against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi while the latter was addressing in a meeting with Indian diaspora at the University of California, Santa Cruz, on Tuesday. A smiling Rahul was seen waving and welcoming them a couple of times as they continued their disruption before being removed by the organisers.
As they raised slogans Jodo, Jodo... Rahul joined them saying 'Bharat Jodo', which was the title he had chosen for his recently concluded footmarch across the country from Kanniyakumari to Kashmir covering almost all the states. Rahul also said that the Congress party is accommodative and will welcome every one of them from the rivals and will show them love and affection.
"See the interesting thing about us. About the congress party is we have affection towards everybody. Someone wants to come. If someone wants to come and say something regardless of what they say. We are not going to get angry. We are not going to get aggressive. We will nicely listen to it. In fact, we will be affectionate to them and we will be loving to them... because that's our nature," Rahul said continuing his address.
