The Yatra has entered a crucial phase with the Karnataka leg as the state goes to polls next year and is the first time when it is passing through a BJP-ruled state, reports PTI.

Earlier today, Rahul Gandhi addressed a public rally in Mysuru, Karnataka, amid rains as part of the ongoing 'Bharat Jodo Yatra.' He posted a video of himself addressing a public rally in the rain. He captioned the video, “Uniting India, No one can stop us. By raising the voice of India, No one can stop us. Will go from Kanyakumari to Kashmir, no one can stop the India Jodi Yatra.”
