Bharat Jodo Yatra 2.0? Congress Hints At East-to-West ‘Padyatra’

'The east-to-west yatra is likely to start from Pasighat in Arunachal Pradesh and end in Porbandar in Gujarat."

The Congress on Sunday, 26 February, announced that it is considering a pan-India yatra but this time, from east to west, the party’s general secretary Jairam Ramesh said.

The announcement comes after Congress MP Rahul Gandhi said that there was a need to take the ‘tapasya’ of the Bharat Jodo Yatra’ forward.

However, Ramesh said, “The format of the east-to-west yatra may turn out to be different from the south-to-north Bharat Jodo Yatra,” in that, it may not have “such an elaborate infrastructure” and “may have less yatris.”
