Congress' Bharat Jodo Yatra Resumes Rally From Telangana's Kamareddy, Set To Enter Maharashtra

Gandhi will address two rallies during the yatra in Maharashtra. The first rally will be held on November 10 in Nanded district, while the second one will be held on November 18 in Buldhana district

The Congress' Bharat Jodo Yatra led by Rahul Gandhi resumed from Kamareddy on Monday on its final day of the Telangana leg. The rally will enter Maharashtra on Monday evening and senior leader Rahul Gandhi will address two rallies in the state on Thursday (November 10) and Friday (November 18), a senior party leader said.

The yatra, a mass outreach initiative that began on September 7 from Kanyakumari, is scheduled to enter its 61st day on Monday and reach Deglur in Maharashtra's Nanded district from neighbouring Telangana. Senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh tweeted, "Today is the 61st day of Bharat Jodo Yatra. It will complete Telangana by this evening — 8 districts and around 390 kms covered. Tonight at around 9 pm the yatra begins its 13-day journey in Maharashtra from Nanded district." 

Rahul Gandhi will address two rallies during the yatra in Maharashtra. The first rally will be held on November 10 in Nanded district, while the second one will be held on November 18 at Shegaon in Buldhana district, as per the schedule shared by the Congress.

The yatra will traverse through 15 Assembly and 6 parliamentary constituencies in the state during its 14-day sojourn. It will cover a distance of 382 kms across five districts before entering Madhya Pradesh on November 20.

The party's state unit has planned to hold a welcome ceremony for the yatra participants at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj statue at Kalamandir in Deglur, it said.

After the welcome ceremony, the yatra will resume on Monday night during the participants will carry 'Ekta Mashals' (Unity Torches). The yatra will proceed through Nanded district for four days and enter Hingoli district on November 11, Washim on November 15, Akola on November 16 and Buldhana on November 18, party sources said.

Senior Congress leader Balasaheb Thorat, who recently visited Nanded to oversee the preparations for the yatra, said elaborate arrangements have been made in the state for it.

Addressing a press conference in Nanded on Sunday, Maharashtra Congress president Nana Patole said the yatra's aim was to protect the Constitution and democratic values.

"In the last eight years, the country has seen corruption, fear and hunger," he alleged, and demanded a face-to-face debate between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Rahul Gandhi on the issues plaguing the country.

"Ours is not a political yatra. It is aimed at highlighting the issues plaguing the country. Many prominent personalities we contacted said they support the yatra, but would not come in the open," he said.

More than 100 prominent personalities from different walks of life will participate in the yatra, another Congress leader earlier said.

The Congress has invited Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) president Sharad Pawar and former chief minister Uddhav Thackeray to take part in the foot-march.

Pawar had earlier said he would join the yatra. The state Congress leadership plans to highlight the participation of the NCP and the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena faction in the yatra as a show of solidarity of the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
