Negotiations between Akhilesh Yadav, Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi, and Mallikarjun Kharge have taken place, but a final seat agreement has not been achieved. According to the Samajwadi Party, if all is finalized, Akhilesh Yadav will join the yatra, else, he will not.
Earlier this month, Akhilesh Yadav accepted Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge's invitation and stated that he will attend the yatra in either Amethi or Raebareli. Yadav posted his response to Kharge’s invitation on his official X handle stating: “Got your invitation to join the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra. Best wishes for the yatra’s success in UP.” He also wrote: “Hope that the Nyay Yatra will join the ‘PDA’ strategy of the SP while entering the state and take forward its agitation for ‘social justice and harmony’”.
