New Delhi: Rahul Gandhi, launching another attack on the BJP, said that he considers the saffron party as his "guru" as the party workers' actions show him what he should not do. He also invited Opposition party leaders such as Akhilesh Yadav and Mayawati to join the Bharat Jodo Yatra as they stand for the same message of spreading love in the country. While speaking to reporters on the last day of 2022, he said, "I want them (BJP) to attack us aggressively, this will help Congress party understand its ideology. I consider them (BJP) as my Guru, they are showing me the way and training me on what is not to be done."

"The doors of Bharat Jodo Yatra are open for everyone, we are not going to stop anyone from joining us. Akhilesh ji, Mayawati ji and others want "mohabbat ka Hindustan" and there is some relation of ideology between us," he further said.
