Whatever happening in Manipur is the result of the ideology of BJP-RSS: Rahul
"People of BJP-RSS are spreading hatred in the country. Whatever happened and is happening in Manipur is the result of the ideology of BJP-RSS. Manipur has been burning for months and the Prime Minister of the country has not visited Manipur till date. Media does not talk about Manipur, unemployment, inflation and public issues. Last year we did 'Bharat Jodo Yatra'. Now 'Bharat Jodo Nyaya Yatra' has been started from North East. The goal of this visit is to listen to your heart and raise your issues," says Rahul Gandhi.
