Karnataka leader of the opposition and former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah tweeted about the Bharat Jodo Yatra and Police visit to Congress MP Rahul Gandhi's residence, on Monday.

Bharat Jodo Yatra was a symbol of India's unity and a common expression to highlight the current issues faced by our countrymen, Siddaramaiah tweeted.

He also said that it's a political vendetta to target Rahul Gandhi for speaking on behalf of the women based on the inputs he received during the Bharat Jodo Yatra.

Bharat Jodo Yatra gave confidence to millions of women to come out and confidently narrate their ordeals, he added.

Siddaramaiah on Twitter said that Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) is trying to silence the voices of women.
