Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will undertake a 6,200 km-long Bharat Nyay Yatra from January 14. As a follow-up to the Bharat Jodo Yatra, the upcoming yatra will commence at Manipur’s capital Imphal and conclude on March 20 in Mumbai.
“All India Congress committee has decided to hold a Bharat Nyay Yatra from January 14 to March 20th from Manipur to Mumbai. Rahul Gandhi is doing the yatra with the great experience from the first Bharat Jodo Yatra,” said Congress General Secretary K.C. Venugopal.
Bharat Nyay Yatra
The yatra will cover 85 districts across 14 states namely Manipur, Nagaland, Assam, Meghalaya, West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand, Orissa, Chattisgarh, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Maharashtra.
The distinguishing characteristic between the forthcoming Nyay Yatra, which signifies a quest for justice, and the Bharat Jodo Yatra is that the former was undertaken by Gandhi exclusively on foot, whereas the latter will entail both bus transportation and walking. The Bharat Jodo yatra was a 4,500 km cross-country march that started in Kanyakumari, the southernmost tip of India, in September 2022, and ended in Srinagar in January 2023. The Nyay Yatra will cover a larger distance, in comparison.
Jairam Ramesh, General Secretary of Communications, Congress, said in a post on X, “The Bharat Nyay Yatra that is going to start now is for economic justice, for social justice, and for political justice. Its objective is to save democracy, to save the Constitution, and to instill confidence in a bright future among the crores of families suffering from inflation and unemployment. “
