Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is set to embark on the 'Bharat Nyay Yatra' covering 6,200 km from Manipur on January 14. The yatra will span 85 districts in 14 states and conclude in Mumbai on March 20. Congress General Secretary K.C. Venugopal and General Secretary Jairam Ramesh announced the details, stating that the yatra aims to secure economic, social, and political justice for the people.
The yatra will be flagged off by Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge from Imphal. The decision to start from Manipur was motivated by the state's significance and a desire to begin healing the wounds of its people. Rahul Gandhi's previous yatra covered 4,000 km from Kanyakumari to Kashmir, and this phase will cover 6,200 km across 14 states.
The route will include Manipur, Nagaland, Assam, Meghalaya, West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Maharashtra. The yatra will focus on social, economic, and political justice, building on the themes raised during Rahul Gandhi's earlier 'Bharat Jodo Yatra.'
Details about the participation of other political parties in the yatra are still being worked out, with the Congress expressing openness to collaboration with the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) parties. The 'Bharat Nyay Yatra' is expected to address issues of economic disparities, polarization, and the need for justice in the country.
