New Delhi: Congress party's Bharat Jodo Yatra resumed on Sunday morning in Haryana's Karnal, during which the party's supporters were seen dancing shirtless amid dense fog on top of a bus as the crowd walked past them.
The Congress supporters were cheering and dancing to music as a large crowd walked in the foggy morning.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi-led foot march entered Karnal district from adjoining Panipat on Saturday which was joined by scores of people. Olympic medallist boxer Vijender Singh and senior Congress leaders Bhupinder Singh Hooda and Randeep Singh Surjewala were among those who joined the yatra which began from Kohand village in Gharaunda, according to PTI.
The yatra re-entered Haryana on Thursday evening from Uttar Pradesh.
On Saturday, Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel while interacting with the media suggested research should be conducted on 'people staying without clothes'.
Baghel made this suggestion when asked about the Congress leader Rahul Gandhi roaming in just a t-shirt in the 'Bharat Jodo Yatra', according to news agency ANI.
He said, "It's not happening for the first time in the country. Naga Sadhus, Digambar Jain Muni, many people stay without clothes. Research should be done on the issues which Rahul Ji is raising."
Baghel also took a jibe at the Central government and Home Minister Amit Shah before his visit to the state. He claimed, "He (Union Home Minister Amit Shah) is coming (to state) for Lok Sabha polls and not for state Assembly polls. Bharatiya Janata Party is taking forward two of its favourite topics: conversion and polarization. In the last four years, our party increased the income of all the groups including farmers and women."
The yatra covered over 130 km in its first phase in Haryana from December 21-23, passing through Nuh, Gurugram and Faridabad districts.
The yatra, which started from Kanyakumari in Tamil Nadu on September 7, will end with Gandhi hoisting the national flag in Srinagar on January 30.
The march has so far covered Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Delhi and Uttar Pradesh.
