On December 21, a video of Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra (BJY) went viral where the Congress leader was seen pushing down the phone of a fan who wanted a selfie with him. The video appeared to be from Rajasthan and was shot early morning on December 21, Gandhi was seen surrounded by his supporters on the stage.
All of them wanted to get clicked with the leader and started pushing each other. Irked by the situation, Gandhi angrily pushed down the phone of a fan who was trying to get a selfie with him. He seemed irritated with the attempt to take a selfie with him and did not allow the man to take the selfie.
The Bharat Jodo Yatra will reach Haryana today.
Within seconds after the incident, Gandhi left the stage. Notably, Gandhi has been claiming to propagate the ‘politics of love’ throughout his Bharat Jodo Yatra. Gandhi, who has spent over 100 days on the roads of India, visibly lost cool on the stage. The BJY is scheduled for a 9-day break starting from December 24, just a day before Christmas. By that day, Gandhi will be in Delhi. The BJY will resume on January 3, after the New Year celebrations are over, from Delhi itself.
It is unclear where Gandhi is going to spend his break. Notably, he did not attend Parliament’s winter session claiming it would not be possible for him to attend as the BJY is ongoing. However, he seems okay with taking a break for nine days when Christmas and New Year are around.
