Today Rahul will start Yatra 2.0 in Manipur - 67 days ahead, 15 states, 110 districts...

Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's second 'Bharat Jodo' Yatra is starting from today. However, this journey has been officially named ‘Bharat Jodo Nyaya Yatra’. The first ‘Bharat Jodo’ journey took place up to Kanyakumari in South India and ended in Kashmir in the North. Congress wants to 'connect' the East and West of the country through the second 'Join India' Yatra. In the statement issued by Congress, it has been said that Rahul Gandhi's journey will start from Thoubal district of Manipur. Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge will flag off the Bharat Jodo Nyaya Yatra.

After reaching 110 districts of 15 states for 67 days, the Yatra will end in Mumbai on March 20-21. However, Congress workers-supporters will participate in this yatra not by walking the entire route like the earlier 'Bharat Jodo' yatra, but by walking a little and taking some buses.

Rahul Gandhi will undertake a two-month long journey of 6,200 kilometers from Manipur's Thoubal district to Mumbai. The yatra will start from Khongjom War Memorial at 12 noon on Sunday, although earlier it was scheduled to start from the capital Imphal, but the Manipur government did not give permission for this event amid the ongoing tension in the state.

This journey is for ideals, not for votes

On Saturday, party general secretary Jairam Ramesh held a press conference with former Congress Chief Minister Okram Ibobi Singh in Manipur. Manipur Pradesh Congress President Keesham Meghchandra Singh was also present. In the press conference, Jairam said that this 'fair journey' of Congress is keeping in mind the injustice of ten years of Modi rule. He said, “This yatra is a program of a political party. But this journey is for ideals, not for votes.”

He said that Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge has once again invited the leaders of the India Alliance to participate in the ‘Bharat Jodo Nyaya Yatra’. Rahul will also hold a big program regarding the manifesto on January 23 in Guwahati. He said that during the 'Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra', Rahul will meet different civil organizations and public meetings will be held.
