Mumbai: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi marked the culmination of his 63-day-long Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra in Mumbai, paying homage to Dr. B R Ambedkar at his memorial, Chaityabhoomi, in central Mumbai. Gandhi, accompanied by his sister and party general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, honored the legacy of the Indian Constitution’s architect by reading its Preamble.
Addressing a public gathering in the Dharavi area earlier, Gandhi reiterated the Congress party’s commitment to conducting a caste census. He also affirmed that impoverished women would receive Rs 1 lakh annually in their bank accounts if the Congress returned to power.
“Dharavi is yours and should remain yours. Your skills should be honoured and this place should become a manufacturing hub of the country,” Gandhi emphasized, alluding to the ongoing redevelopment project in the slum area awarded to the Adani Group.
