He added, "Even when challenged through the cancellation of his Parliament membership and eviction from his official residence, Rahul Gandhi moved forward without fear or hesitation." John said that, as an alternative to the politics of hatred, Gandhi championed the politics of love and unity through the Bharat Jodo Yatra from Kanyakumari to Kashmir. He said Gandhi reached out directly to people during the march, listened to their concerns and shared in their struggles. He also said, "Gandhi emerged as a strong political force against the corporate-fascist nexus in India.
He consistently spoke out, with evidence, against what he described as assaults on democratic institutions and values. Today, when lakhs of students are raising concerns over irregularities in the NEET examination and the future of young people is at stake, Gandhi is there to listen to them and raise his voice on their behalf." John added, "Heartfelt birthday wishes to Gandhi, a leader who continues to shine as a beacon of hope for India amid challenging times." Vishnunadh also posted birthday greetings on his social media handles, saying, "Heartfelt birthday wishes to Rahul Gandhi, a leader who steadfastly upholds the politics of truth and justice and fights uncompromisingly for the rights of the people." Labour Minister Bindhu Krishna also shared a photograph with Gandhi and conveyed birthday wishes in a social media post.
The messages from Kerala Congress leaders highlighted Gandhi's political journey, his public outreach through the Bharat Jodo Yatra and his stand on democratic values, as they marked his birthday with social media posts and greetings. Ends
