The Congress has announced ‘Bharat Nyay Yatra’ from Manipur in the east to Mumbai in western India, covering 14 states and 85 districts, beginning January 14. The yatra would be led by Rahul Gandhi and other veteran Congress leaders. The yatra will conclude on March 20, covering around 6,200 km. Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and former party chiefs Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi will address the rally, according to party leaders.
Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said at a press conference, “After the Bharat Jodo Yatra, the Congress will take out a Bharat Nyay Yatra under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi ji,”. The Bharat Nyay Yatra will focus on securing economic, social, and political justice for the people of the country, Ramesh said.
The Congress is all geared up for next year’s Lok Sabha elections with its mega rally ‘Hain Tayyar Hum’ to be held in Maharashtra’s Nagpur city on Thursday, the party’s 139th foundation day.
“It will be a historic moment for the people of the country,” Maharashtra Congress chief Nana Patole said on Wednesday, addressing a press conference at the venue of the event.
The mega event assumes significance as it will be held in Nagpur, where the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh’s (RSS) headquarters and ‘Deekshabhoomi’, the historic place where Dr B R Ambedkar embraced Buddhism, are located.
