Ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the Congress party has rebranded the Rahul Gandhi-led yatra from Manipur to Mumbai, slated to commence on January 14, as the 'Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra'. The announcement was made by Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh after a meeting at the party headquarters, chaired by Congress Chief Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi, focusing on the preparations for the upcoming elections and the yatra. All Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) chiefs were present during the deliberations.
Previously named the 'Bharat Nyay Yatra,' Jairam Ramesh informed about the renaming and outlined the extensive route of the yatra, covering 15 states.
The detailed route map of the 'Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra' was also disclosed, spanning across 15 states and covering 110 districts. The journey will conclude in Mumbai, Maharashtra, after traversing through various states, including Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Assam, West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Maharashtra.
Congress Invites I.N.D.I.A. Bloc Leaders To Participate In 'Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra'
According to news agency PTI, Jairam Ramesh stated, "The Congress invites all INDIA bloc leaders to participate in this yatra," emphasising that invitations are being sent out for it.
The senior Congress leader asserted that the 'Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra' holds "transformative" potential for Indian politics, drawing parallels with the 'Bharat Jodo Yatra' led by Rahul Gandhi from Kanyakumari to Kashmir.
He remarked, "The Congress President and former Congress President Rahul Gandhi chaired a meeting, which was attended by all the PCC chiefs and CLP leaders. Discussions were held on preparations for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls and the yatra, which will be undertaken by Rahul Gandhi from January 14 from Manipur."
The yatra, scheduled to kick off at 12 noon on January 14 from Manipur's Imphal will see Rahul Gandhi addressing social, economic, and political justice issues during the 67-day journey, as per the Congress.
Jairam Ramesh recalled the impact of Rahul Gandhi's earlier 'Bharat Jodo Yatra' covering 4,000 km from Kanyakumari to Kashmir, asserting that it had brought about a positive change in the national atmosphere and rejuvenated Congress party workers. He noted, "It proved to be a milestone in the party's history."
The 'Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra' foot march, covering over 6,713 km, will traverse through 110 districts, approximately 100 Lok Sabha seats, and 337 assembly segments.
