Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Rahul Gandhi-led Bharat Nyay Yatra will pass through Madhya Pradesh, a major Hindi belt state, where the Congress was reduced to one-fourth seats in assembly elections.
The Congress, on Wednesday, announced it will organize a 'Bharat Nyay Yatra' starting from violence-hit Manipur in the east to Mumbai on the western coast.
The rally will cover 14 states and 85 districts and will start on January 14, 2024. The 6200-km yatra will cover states like Manipur, Nagaland, Assam, Meghalaya, West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand, Orissa, Chhattisgarh, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Maharashtra.
Taking to X, Madhya Pradesh Congress president Jitu Patwari wrote, "After 'Bharat Jodo Yatra', Congress will take out 'Bharat Nyay Yatra' under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi. The yatra will begin on January 14 and will conclude on March 20.
The yatra aims to raise issues like economic justice, social justice, and political justice," Patwari posted.
Congress general secretary KC Venugopal said on Wednesday that "the All India Congress Committee (AICC) has decided to hold a 'Bharat Nyay Yatra' from January 14 to March 20 from Manipur to Mumbai. The yatra will include women, youth, and marginalized communities."
He further said that the Bharat Nyay Yatra will be mostly covered by buses, along with short stretches of walking.
