New Delhi: The Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday resumed the party’s grand rally ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ from Burja village that will halt at Beejwa area in Alwar district of Rajasthan in the evening.
The ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ entered Congress-ruled Rajasthan on December 4 after finishing the Madhya Pradesh leg.
Cutting Down LPG Cylinder Prices
A day earlier, Rahul Gandhi accompanied Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot during a public address. In the rally, Ashok Gehlot made a significant annoucement of cuting the prices of gas cylinder by almost half of the price.
The Chief Minister said from April 1, 2023, people under the BPL and Ujjwala schemes will get gas cylinders for Rs 500 each.
“People who are below the poverty line or are linked to the Ujjwala Yojana will be studied, and starting April 1, they will receive 12 cylinders per year at Rs 500 each, instead of the current price of Rs 1040,” Gehlot said.
राजस्थान में BPL और उज्ज्वला योजना के अंतर्गत आने वाले लोगों को 1 अप्रैल से '500 रुपए' में मिलेगा रसोई गैस सिलेंडर।

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi led the yatra through Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and now, Rajasthan. During this journery, the footmarch has covered almost 2,800 kms, interacting with locals, farmers, activists, actors and lawmakers.
“Bharat Jodo Yatra’s biggest achievement is that issues of the common people of the country have been highlighted through it,” the news agency PTI quoted Congress leader KC Venugopal.
He further said, “The Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) attempt of demolishing his (Gandhi’s) image has also been destroyed by us.”

एक ऐसी यात्रा जहां लोग सूरज की पहली किरण के साथ हजारों की संख्या में नफ़रत को हराने निकल पड़ते हैं। जहां धर्म, भाषा या जाति के आधार पर भेदभाव नहीं किया जाता।
