The BJP tried to destabilise the Jharkhand government elected by the people but the INDIA bloc stood up against its "conspiracy" and did not let it "steal the popular mandate", Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said on Friday as his Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra entered the eastern state..

Addressing the gathering, Gandhi alleged the BJP has "money power and probe agencies" but he and the Congress are not scared of them and will keep on fighting against the ruling party's "divisive ideology"..

The former Congress president said that while the earlier Bharat Jodo Yatra was against the "divisive agenda" of the RSS and the BJP, the current yatra is seeking justice for the people of the country..

In his remarks at a flag handover ceremony marking the yatra's entry into Jharkhand from West Bengal, Gandhi blamed the Modi government's demonetisation policy and "flawed GST" implementation for "destruction of small and medium industries" which he said are the backbone of employment generation in the country..
