The Bharat Jodo Yatra entered its 33rd day on Monday. The yatra started from Kanyakumari on September 7 and will conclude in Kashmir, completing 3,500 km and passing through 12 states.
The former Congress chief said this yatra is about fighting unemployment and price rise. In particular, this yatra is defending the interests of farmers, of labourers, of small and medium businesses, he noted.
The Yatra will enter Andhra Pradesh on October 18 and will be in the state till October 21. It will then re-enter Karnataka's Raichur. The Yatra will take a two-day Diwali break on October 24 and 25 and re-start on October 26, when it will enter Telangana.
