Digital Desk: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi declared today that whoever is chosen to serve as the party's new president will have complete freedom to make decisions and manage the organisation. During a media interview for his party's "Bharat Jodo Yatra" in Karnataka, the former Congress leader said: "Both of the candidates running in the congressional presidential elections have positions and individual viewpoints. It is demeaning to both of them to refer to anyone as a 'remote control'."

Gandhi added that his party's position was as follows: "Our party is not fascist. We are a political group that values discussion and is open to opposing points of view. We are aware that teamwork is necessary if we want to win the election."
"According to our constitution, India is a federation of states. It implies that each of our languages, states, and traditions has a place that is equally significant. That is just how our nation is. It is against national law to incite hatred and violence within the nation. We will combat anyone who incites violence and bigotry, "Added he.
At the media, event were prominent Congress figures Jairam Ramesh, Randeep Surjewala, and former Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.
Targeting the BJP, Gandhi stated: "The BJP is dividing the country and fomenting hatred in this country. Spreading hatred and dividing the country are not constructive actions. We are conducting the "Bharat Jodo Yatra" for this reason. Let me also add that I am not the only one participating in the "Bharat Jodo Yatra." Numerous millions of people are participating in the "Bharat Jodo Yatra."
He added that the Indian people are sick of the BJP's brand of politics, as well as the country's rising costs and high unemployment.
