Congress's Rahul Gandhi flagged off the party's massive mass contact programme, 'Bharat Jodo Yatra', from Kanyakumari this afternoon, with an eye on the 2024 general elections. The 3,500-km foot march will be covered in 150 days. "India is the institutions that protect this flag. India is free media that protects this flag. India is a judiciary that protects this flag. And today every single one of our institutions is under attack by BJP, RSS. They think this flag is their personal property. They think they can determine single-handedly the future of this people, state of this country," Rahul Gandhi said in his address.
