New Delhi: In a sharp retort directed at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge raised eyebrows on Saturday, questioning the Prime Minister Narendra Modis conspicuous absence in Manipur amidst his extensive travels across the nation. Addressing the media at the All India Congress Committee headquarters, Kharge also shed light on Rahul Gandhis ambitious Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, unveiling its comprehensive 6700 km itinerary.PM Modis selective travels draw criticismKharge, taking a dig at the Prime Minister, remarked, An unfortunate incident occurred in Manipur, but PM Modi either went to the beach, had a photo session swimming, went for photos at the ongoing temple construction site, or went to Kerala and Mumbai. He goes everywhere, you can see his photos everywhere…Just like the darshan of God first thing after waking up. But why did this great man not go to ManipurLIVE: Special Press Briefing📍AICC Headquarters, New Delhihttps://t.co/QKTyfQrsWR— Mallikarjun Kharge (@kharge) January 6, 2024Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra to commence Providing insights into Rahul Gandhis Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, Kharge stated, Commencing from January 14, a significant Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra will be initiated under the guidance of Congress President Rahul Gandhi.
