In Hingoli, a group of people who came to cheer on the march, including many ladies and children, even brought an elephant. 22 former troops were among those who stood along the route and chanted slogans in favour of the march and the adoption of 'One Rank One Pension' (ORO), PTI reported.

After actress Pooja Bhatt, Bollywood actor Sushant Singh on Thursday took part in the 'Bharat Jodo Yatra.'

Speaking from the 'Bharat Jodo Yatra,' he attacked the BJP without mentioning its name. He attacked the BJP, claiming that some individuals in the country are inciting enmity. However, with all of these hate-filled politics, it is tough to pursue the road of love, and he also stated that Rahul Gandhi is on the same path, he said. 

The yatra, a mass interaction initiative of the Congress, will travel 3,750 kilometres before ending in Srinagar in January 2023.
