The Bharat Jodo Yatra 2.O will be called the ‘Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra’, and will follow a route from Manipur’s Imphal and conclude in Mumbai, Maharashtra. The yatra, which is scheduled to begin on 14 January will culminate on 20 March and cover over 6700 kilometers. The yatra will cross through a total of 15 states, 110 districts and 110 Lok Sabha seats, with a maximum number of days to be spent in Uttar Pradesh, an electorally influential state.
These key decisions about the yatra were taken in a three-hour long meeting helmed by Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and party MP Rahul Gandhi in the party’s headquarters in Delhi on Thursday. The meeting was attended by all the All India Congress Committee (AICC) general secretaries, state in-charges, state Congress presidents, and Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leaders. This was the first major Congress party meeting held to discuss the 2024 Lok Sabha election plans, as well as how to navigate the INDIA alliance.
