Rahul Gandi to commence on 'Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra'
Meanwhile, Rahul Gandhi is trying to regain electoral fortune through his Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra set to begin on January 14. The Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, which will cover around 6,700 km - mostly on buses with stretches of walking - and culminate on March 20, comes nearly a year after former Congress president Rahul Gandhi completed Bharat Jodo Yatra on foot from Kanyakumari to Kashmir, traversing over 4,000 km in 136 days.
The yatra will cover a total of 110 districts and 100 Lok Sabha seats approx. The journey will pass through 337 assembly constituencies. While Gandhi raised the issues of 'economic disparities, polarisation and dictatorship' during the Bharat Jodo Yatra, the Nyay Yatra will focus on social, economic and political justice for the people of the country, Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said at a press conference.
