Rahul Gandhi: Rahul Gandhi has shared a video on the occasion of National Sports Day, in which he is seen practicing Jiu-Jitsu martial arts. Through this video, he told that during the Bharat Jodo Yatra, he used to practice Jiu-Jitsu in the evening. His effort was not limited to fitness only, but it turned into a community activity that also involved the youth he met during the journey. Now Rahul Gandhi is going to start 'Bharat Dojo Yatra', which could be a new martial arts training initiative. Dojo is a training hall, and this journey could possibly be a step towards making the nuances of martial arts accessible to more people.

Rahul Gandhi's Dojo journey is about to start, written in the caption, can also mean doing political martial arts with opponents.
