Addressing a gathering, Gandhi stated that he has been listening to the people for seven to eight hours during the Yatra and addressing them for 15 minutes every day. He said that he started the Yatra in order to seek justice for the people.

He also told the gathering that while the first edition of the ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ which covered Kanyakumari to Kashmir was successful, but people from like Jharkhand, Odisha, West Bengal and the Northeast told him that their states were not covered by that Yatra. 

Upon his arrival, Rahul Gandhi was warmly received by members of the Odisha Pradesh Congress Committee (OPCC), including its president Sarat Pattanayak and other senior leaders.
