Jabalpur (Madhya Pradesh): Congress workers in Jabalpur took out a Mashal Yatra (torch procession) to protest against Rahul Gandhi’s disqualification from Lok Sabha on Sunday. The procession was headed by Indian Youth Congress president Srinivas BV and Madhya Pradesh Youth Congress president Vikrant Bhuria.
5,100 youth congressmen took to the streets in Ranjhi to protest and called it ‘Loktantra Bachao Yatra’. They walked for atleast 4-5 kms with burning ‘mashaals’ in their hands.
Talking to the reporters, Srinivas BV said, “BJP is that washing machine which can clean any corrupt person. They are running ‘mutecracy’ in the country. If you try to speak in the parliament your microphone is muted and if you speak on the streets, you are silenced."
Talking about the upcoming assembly elections, he said that Congress will win more than 150 seats.
'Rule of lies in the country'
State Youth Congress president Vikrant Bhuria said, “This anger which is being seen in the whole country is because democracy is being strangled inside the country and what is true is not being accepted. Lies are ruling the country."
