Congress marks 4 years of Bharat Jodo Yatra, calls it a ‘turning point’ in Indian politics
The Congress on Monday described the Rahul Gandhi-led Bharat Jodo Yatra as a “decisive turning point” in Indian politics that brought “new hope” and energy, as it marked the fourth anniversary of the march.
Congress general secretary in-charge of communications Jairam Ramesh said the yatra was not meant to sermonise a “Mann ki Baat”, but to listen to “Janta ki Chinta”.
Ramesh recalled that Gandhi launched the march from Kanyakumari on September 7, 2022, after visiting the Vivekananda Memorial. Accompanied by around 120 Bharat Yatris, Gandhi walked 4,080 km across 12 states and two Union territories over 145 days before the yatra culminated in a rally in Srinagar.
