‘Sadbhav Yatra’ has posed political challenge to BJP’s divisive politics, says Congress leader Brijendra Singh

Terming his Statewide foot march a “political challenge” to the Bharatiya Janata Party’s “divisive politics”, Congress leader Brijendra Singh in the last leg of his ‘Sadbhav Yatra’, said the padyatra in Haryana had reactivated demoralised Congress party workers and helped him reconnect with the people on the ground.

Speaking to The Hindu, the bureaucrat-turned-politician said the social divide “has not gone down deep as yet” despite the BJP’s attempts to exploit it electorally. “The divide is being attempted. It has happened to the extent that the BJP has been able to exploit it for its electoral end. But otherwise, it’s not gone down deep. There is still time to check it before it goes too far,” said the 53-year-old former Hisar MP, who had quit the BJP days before the Lok Sabha polls in 2024 to join the Congress.
