All about Rahul Gandhi's 'Bharat Mata' tweet on I-Day
The post on social media platform Twitter, which is now rebranded as X, del🌜ineated Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's experience of 'Bharat Jodo Yatra', a 145-day-long procession that started from the edge of the sea in south and culminated in the snow of Kashmir.
"Last year I spent a hundred and forty-five days walking across the land I call home. I started at the edge of the sea and walked through heat, dust and rain. 𝕴Through forests, towns and hills, until🌸 I reached the soft snow of my beloved Kashmir," he said.
Gandhi also rei💟terated the pain he faced while continuing his yatra and the motivation that helped him in continuing the♛ yatra.
"Within a few days, the pain arrived. My old knee injury, one that hours of physiotherapy had banishe🍨d, was back. A few days into the walk, my physio joined us, he came and gave me sage advice. The pain remained. And then I started to notice something. Every time I would think about stopping, every time I considered giving up, someone would come and gift me the energy to continue," he said.
"T⭕he Yatra progressed. But soon the numbers of people became so large, the pain so persistent that I started to observe and listen," he added.
