Congress decided to kickstart the yatra at the Khongjom War Memorial due to its historical significance. Starting the yatra in Manipur also enabled the party to draw attention to the ongoing ethnic violence in Manipur, which has claimed the lives of about 180 people since May.
"We will bring back the harmony, peace & affection that Manipur has always been known for."

The ideological yatra is being carried out by Congress against the Modi government's 'anyay kaal,' a term coined by the party to refer to the 10 years since Narendra Modi assumed the prime ministerial chair.
Congress General Secretary, in a press conference on Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, was quoted as saying, "Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra from Khongjom in Manipur to Mumbai in Maharashtra starts Sunday to raise our voice for economic justice, social justice, and political justice, to raise our voice against the ANYAY KAAL of the last 10 years."
As per the party, the yatra is a means of voicing their opinions and raising people's issues, as the ruling government deprived them of this opportunity in Parliament.
Congress is hopeful that the Bharat Jodo Yatra will act as a means of re-establishing the values of justice, liberty, equality, and fraternity upheld by the Constitution of India.
