Ex-Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor, Raghuram Rajan has joined the ongoing Rahul Gandhi-led Bharat Jodo Yatra currently passing through Rajasthan. In a video shared by a news agency, the former RBI Governor can be seen walking alongside senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and Sachin Pilot during the party's outreach programme.
Earlier Rajan criticised demonetisation and expressed concerns over India's economic growth and fiscal deficit. In his book, I do what I do, revealed that he was not in favour of demonetisation and felt the short term economic costs associated with such a disruptive decision would outweigh any long term benefits from it.
The foot march resumed this morning from Bhadoti of Sawai Madhopur in Rajasthan.
The yatra started from Kanyakumari on September 7 and has so far covered Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Telangana, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh. It will conclude in Jammu and Kashmir in early February 2023.
Several politicians, film celebrities, activists and former bureaucrats have participated in the Bharat Jodo Yatra so far.
