Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Monday while presiding over the concluding day of Bharat Jodo Yatra said that "this country is built with love, truth and non-violence, and Congress will preserve this."
Priyanka Gandhi said, "My brother has been walking for four-five months. Earlier I used to think that the journey was very long, how would it be possible, for people would welcome him with an open heart or not? But wherever Rahul Gandhi's Yatra went, people welcomed him a lot with love."
"In this country, people have a passion for non-violence, for the constitution. I thank the people of Jammu & Kashmir because the people here have supported us wholeheartedly. When Rahul Gandhi was coming to Kashmir, he sent a message to me and my mother Sonia Gandhi and said, " I am feeling very good that I am going to my home," she added.
