Union Petroleum minister Hardeep Singh puri took a dig at Congress's india Jodi yatra and said that they must get oil filled from BJP-ruled states during their visit. This will also save a lot of money. puri has given this sarcasm in the context that on the call of prime minister Narendra Modi, BJP-ruled states had imposed VAT on petrol and diesel. However, some non-BJP states refused to do so.

On Friday, Union minister Hardeep puri said congress leaders can save Rs 1,050-2,205 per diesel vehicle traveling 3,500 km from 12 states during the yatra. In a series of tweets, the Union minister says, "Advice to congress is to get fuel filled in bjp affiliated states before entering those states. Because many states refused to reduce fuel prices." For example, there is a difference of Rs 14.5 per liter in fuel between telangana and Jammu and Kashmir."

Taking a dig, puri advises the congress party, "Money can be saved: 3.07/liter by refueling in haryana instead of Delhi, 3.96/liter by refueling in UP instead of Rajasthan, by refueling in maharashtra instead of Telangana." 3.55/Litre whereas, tamil Nadu and kerala can save 6.35/Litre and 8.63/Litre respectively by not refueling.

Puri further adds, "Overall, during its journey in 12 states, 3,500 km and 150 days, the congress can save between Rs 1,050 and Rs 2,205 per diesel vehicle. Given their huge contingent and convoy of luxury vehicles, congress can save between Rs 1,050 and Rs 2,205 per diesel vehicle. The 'young' leaders are usually traveling, they might even thank me for this advice later!"

Meanwhile, the congress party led by rahul gandhi started the third day of 'Bharat Jodi Yatra' in Nagercoil town of Kanyakumari district in tamil Nadu. The third day of the journey started from Scott Christian college in Nagercoil to Azhagiamandapam Junction in tamil Nadu.

Significantly, rahul gandhi will undertake a 3,500 km march from Kanyakumari to kashmir which will be completed in 150 days and will cover 12 states. After reaching kerala on 11 September, the yatra will pass through this state for the next 18 days, reaching karnataka on 30 September. Then it will be in karnataka for 21 days before moving north
