Rahul Gandhi’s speech made on Saturday during Bharat Jodo Yatra had the internet into a tizzy after he said ‘dogs, cows, buffaloes, and pigs attended the Bharat Jodo Yatra’.
Speaking at a public rally in Delhi, Rahul Gandhi said, “I don’t know if you have noticed it or not, but in this campaign(BJY), dogs participated, but no one killed them. Cows, buffaloes, and pigs also joined in, I saw them. All animals came. This Yatra is like our India. There is no hatred or violence here.”
The speech instantly went viral on social media, leaving many netizens in splits over the claims made by the former Congress leader. Several others conjectured that the Gandhi scion was using cryptic language to insinuate the participation of some people in the Bharat Jodo Yatra.

Congress party’s Bharat Jodo Yatra
Earlier this year, Congress announced a 150-day long ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’, a political campaign crisscrossing different parts of the country in a bid to re-energise its waning ground support amid successive electoral defeats.
Several personalities, mostly opposition leaders and closet Congress supporters, joined the campaign even as party leaders struggled to enunciate the aims and objectives of the ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’, which to many had been a boondoggle—a wasteful project with little to no returns.
Earlier today, actor-turned-politician Kamal Haasan joined the Bharat Jodo Yatra. In the last few weeks, actor Swara Bhasker, ‘comedian’ Kunal Kamra, Icchadhari protester Yogendra Yadav, and many others had joined the Congress party’s campaign.
