“I don’t want to waste my time countering the arguments from the other side. There will always be professional critics, arm-chair critics, people who will raise questions in India for everything you do,” he added.

Meanwhile, CM Gehlot also said, “Beginning of ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ was great… don’t care about the counterside. Counterside talked about a Congress-free nation, now they’re furious and talk about Pakistan and the Yatra. They should rather govern and think about inflation and unemployment.”
