To a query, he targeted the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party at the Centre said, ''The BJP is only spreading lies in the country. They talked about Bharat Jodo Yatra too. The yatra became one of the biggest political movements in the country. The entire BJP was against it. The BJP can do politics."

The Bharat Jodo Yatra led by Congress MP Rahul Gandhi began on September 7, 2022 from Kanyakumari in Tamil Nadu and concluded on January 30, 2023 in Srinagar.

As Venugopal, Bansal and Anwar arrived at the Raipur airport on Sunday, Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel, his cabinet colleagues and state Congress chief Mohan Markam were among those present to welcome them.
