Addressing a session in Hortus Festival in Kerala’s Calicut, actor and activist Swara Bhasker said the Bharat Jodo Yatra was an ingenious idea. She was responding to a question on her participation in the historic south to north historic yatra led by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. She also talked in length about the respect he has for Mr Gandhi and said he has posed a strong ideological opposition to the Hindutva in the country.

Swara humorously remarked that she has a soft spot for Rahul Gandhi, noting that no one else has been trolled as much as she has on social media. Praising his dignity, grace, and leadership aura, Swara pointed out that the Congress leader has remained consistent in his attitude, staying the same through both his political setbacks and his recent wins in Parliament.

Praising the Congress leader for moving forward by upholding his ideologies she said his steadfastness had given strength to other common people to follow his path.

When the host of the event asked about Rahul Gandhi’s visit to Manipur, Swara sarcastically pointed out that apart from the supporters, the others who considers Narendra Modi as Prime Minister addresses their issues to Rahul Gandhi. “Then why don’t they admit Rahul Gandhi is the Prime Minister,” she said half-jokingly.
