Revanth Reddy, the chief minister of Telangana, took part in the “Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra” planning meeting on Saturday at Congress national president Mallikarjun Kharge’s Delhi home. The Yatra is scheduled to begin from Manipur on Saturday. CM Reddy is currently in the nation’s capital for a visit. Party leaders Rahul Gandhi and KC Venugopal attended the meeting in addition to Reddy and Kharge. Leading party figures will be present, with Congress President Kharge leading the yatra. The Yatra will end on March 20 in Mumbai, having traversed 6,713 km through 15 states.
Meanwhile, the party said on Saturday that the Yatra is an ideological battle the grand old party is waging against the “politics of polarisation and social, economic and political injustice”.
“It is an ideological yatra by a political party but not an electoral yatra,” Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said here on Friday.
During a press conference on the eve of the Yatra, Ramesh, along with Manipur incharge Girish Chodankar, former Manipur Chief Minister Ibobi Singh, PCC president Meghachandra Singh and former Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister, announced that Rahul Gandhi will embark on sixty-day Yatra from Khangjom in the Thoubal district from Saturday.
“The Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra is the second step after the Bharat Jodo Yatra. While the first yatra was for seeking love and harmony across the country against the politics of hate and violence, this yatra was for seeking justice for the people of the country. It includes social, economic and political justice,” he said.
