A DAY after the Congress completed the first leg of the ongoing "Bharat Jodo Yatra," which aims to fight poverty, unemployment among others, the Grand Old Party on Sunday accused the Narendra Modi government of using the Intelligence Bureau (IB) personnel to question people who met and interacted with Rahul Gandhi.
Congress General Secretary, Jairam Ramesh, said that there is nothing secretive about the Bharat Jodo Yatra, but clearly, G2(Modi and Shah) are rattled.
IB has been interrogating a number of people who have interacted with @RahulGandhi during #BharatJodoYatra. The spooks have been asking all sorts of questions & also wanting copies of memoranda submitted to him.There’s nothing secretive about the Yatra but clearly G2 are rattled!
