BRS leader K Kavitha has hit out at the Congress over DMK MP Dayanidhi Maran's controversial 'Hindi speakers clean toilet' remark and said the Bharat Jodo Yatra that was initiated by Rahul Gandhi looked like a PR stunt..

She also questioned Rahul Gandhi's silence over the Sanatana Dharma comments made by DMK leader Udhayanidhi Stalin...

A 2019 clip of Dayanidhi Maran talking about Hindi speakers from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar coming to Tamil Nadu and doing construction work, and cleaning roads and toilets, triggered a massive row...

Later, in an interview with news agency ANI, Kavitha said the leaders were making such statements to gain certain votes from a few sections of people, which would ultimately divide the country "in ways which we cannot imagine"...

And you are talking about Bharat Jodo Yatra and uniting the nation," she said.. Kavitha said Rahul Gandhi should "not do PR with Bharat Jodo Yatra" and clarify to the people of the country by giving statements about the controversial comments made by his allies with the Lok Sabha polls approaching next year...
