Rahul Gandhi said, “The fight that took place in the Mahabharata at that time is the same even today. Who were the Pandavas? Arjun, Bhim who were these people? These people used to do penance. You people have read Mahabharata. Did the Pandavas ever do wrong? Ever demonetised? Did you apply wrong GST? Because he knew it was the wrong way to steal.”
’21st century Kauravas wear half pants’
Rahul Gandhi from Kurukshetra said, “The Kauravas of the 21st century wear half pants. They walk with sticks in hand and plant branches. The billionaires of India are standing with the Kauravas. Notebandi, against whom wrong GST was done, understand this. He also said that, “This was signed by Narendra Modi, but Modi ji’s hand was run by these billionaires. Were the billionaires of that time standing with the Pandavas? No, because if he had stood, he would not have been in the forest.
“This country is a country of ascetics”
The Congress leader further said, “On one side there were 5 ascetics. People of every religion were with the Pandavas. This journey is the shop of love. Pandavas also worked against injustice. Pandavas also opened a shop of love in the market of hatred. He also said, “The Pandavas did the work of eradicating fear and hatred. The shop of love was opened in the market of fear and hatred and this is not my slogan, it is their slogan, it is the slogan of Lord Ram. This country is a country of ascetics.
No one’s religion was asked during the yatra. If someone fell, he was picked up… had the Pandavas done something wrong? Pandavas imposed demonetisation, GST? Pandavas never do this because Pandavas were ascetics and they knew that this is a way of stealing from the ascetics of this earth: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi pic.twitter.com/rrqz9plJNt

“Sita is as important as Ram”
Attacking the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, he said, “RSS people never say ‘Har Har Mahadev’ because Shivji was an ascetic. Never say Ram-Ram, Jai Siya Ram. He threw Sita ji outside. It is said that we will not say. Sita was as important as Ram was. Wherever I go, Jai Siya Ram is chanted.” Rahul said, “Somebody told me that you walk 3000 km, so what happened when I said? If you ask a farmer how much you have walked in 1 month, he will tell you how much he walked. ,
Haryana | RSS people never chant ‘Har Har Mahadev’ because Lord Shiva was a ‘Tapasavi’ & these people are attacking India’s ‘Tapasaya’. They have removed Goddess Sita from ‘Jai Siya Ram’.

Rahul Gandhi replied on his t-shirt saying, “When the yatra reached MP, it was a little cold. Three poor children came to me in torn shirts, they were shivering when I caught them. That day, I decided to wear only T-shirts until I shivered. When I feel shivering and cold, I will think of wearing a sweater.

He said, “I am not Mahatma Gandhi. There are crores of people in the country like mine. Many people are doing penance in this country. The one who is ascetic, whether he is a farmer, a laborer, a small businessman. It is written in the Gita that do penance and do not see the fruit, but it is not written that do penance and you will not get the result. The government of this country should help that ascetic. The goal of the journey is also that your penance should not be wasted.
