The BJP is scared of India's truth and is using Covid as an excuse to stop the Bharat Jodo Yatra, Rahul Gandhi said today, a day after the Union health ministry wrote to the Congress scion, asking him to suspend the yatra if following Covid protocols is not possible.

"It's their (the BJP's) new idea. They wrote a letter to me saying Covid is coming and stop the Yatra. All these are excuses to stop this Yatra. They are scared of India's truth," Rahul Gandhi said.
