These 60 convoys will follow Rahul Gandhi on his walk. The party has also released a logo, a pamphlet and a tagline '”mile kadam, jude vatan” (walk together, unite the country) for the event. Gandhi on Sunday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP of weakening the country by spreading fear and hatred and said only the Congress can unite the country and take it on the path of progress. Launching an all-out attack on the Modi government at the ‘Mehangai Par Halla Bol’ rally at Ramlila Maidan in New Delhi, he said the government has shut the path of the Opposition from speaking in Parliament, and the “only way for us is to talk directly to people and tell the truth of the country to people and hear them out”.
