Jhalawar, a segment of the Jhalawar-Baran Lok Sabha constituency, is the bastion of BJP leader and former chief minister Vasundhara Raje.
In a video shared by the party, Rahul Gandhi is seeing waving to BJP workers who had gathered outside the party office and on the roof of the building on Tuesday. After blowing several kisses at the BJP workers, Gandhi tells those around him, including Cabinet minister Ramlal Jat and Sachin Pilot, “Sab karo sab karo (Everyone do it)” and they join him in waving at the BJP workers.
On Facebook, Gandhi shared a photo of himself waving at the BJP workers and said, “No hatred, malice or anger – no Bharat (Jodo) Yatri has any of these in their heart. What they have is a passion to unite India, sensitivity for problems of Indians, and love for all countrymen.”
