Belagavi (Karnataka) [India], January 21 (ANI): Karnataka Deputy CM DK Shivakumar informed that Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi could not attend the public rally ‘Jai Bapu, Jai Bhim, Jai Samvidhan’ in Karnataka’s Belagavi due to health reasons.
“Today, a very important message has been given by Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra. Rahul Gandhi’s health was not good, so he could not come. There was a massive crowd here. A good message has gone to save Bapu’s ideology and Ambedkar’s principles and to protect the Constitution. We are very happy, all our workers should take this message…”
Earlier in the day, Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge unveiled a statue of Mahatma Gandhi to commemorate 100 years of his party’s presidency. Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah, DK Shivakumar and other party leaders were gathered in Belagavi for the same.
The ‘Jai Babu, Jai Bhim, Jai Samvidhan’ rally was organised in Belagavi today to mark 100 years of the Nava Satyagraha Baithak held in 1924, which was chaired by Mahatma Gandhi in his capacity as the Congress president.
As this happened, the ministers from the Karnataka government and Congress leaders lauded the party’s organisation of the public rally.
“On 26th (December 2024) ‘Nava Satyagraha Baithak’ took place, it was historic because 100 years ago, at the very same place, Mahatma Gandhi had taken over as Congress President. …today Gandhiji’s statue was unveiled, which was supposed to take place on 27th December (2024) but we cancelled since we had received the news of the passing of Dr Manmohan Singh…today in Belagavi, a big rally has been organised, ‘Jai Babu, Jai Bhim, Jai Samvidhan’. On 27th (January), at Mhow, birthplace of BR Ambedkar, one more rally will be organised…nowadays BR Ambedkar is being insulted, even inside the Parliament, Union Home Minister insulted him…therefore ‘Jai Babu, Jai Bhim, Jai Samvidhan’ has been organised and it will go on for the entire year, ” Senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said.
Earlier today, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah received Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge and party MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra at Belagavi Airport. (ANI)
