New Delhi: Amid the ongoing Congress's Bharat Jodo Yatra, the 52-year-old leader Rahul Gandhi was seen performing push-ups on a road in Karnataka. Rahul was seen with Karnataka unit chief DK Shivakumar, party General Secretary KC Venugopal and a child in various stages of a push-up and Rahul was the only one standing out as the one performing it correctly. Party colleague Randeep Surjewala, who shared the images, echoed the same sentiment.
"The one full and two half pushups!" Surjewala captioned the picture.
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.
The Bharat Jodo Yatra started on September 7 and has completed over 500 km, with Rahul Gandhi along with several Congress leaders walking as 'Bharat Yatris' who will complete the 3,570 km journey from Kanyakumari to Kashmir, as per the Party's statement.
The aim of the Yatra, according to the Congress is to combat the alleged divisive politics of the BJP-led Central government.
