Congress leader Rahul Gandhi resumed Bharat Jodo Yatra from Telangana on Sunday morning.
There is a very good response from the people of Telangana for this yatra.
The residents of surrounding areas are warmly welcoming Rahul Gandhi the yatra is seeing the participation of local leaders.
Rahul Gandhi along with other party leaders will cover many parts of Telangana.
Senior Congress leader Bhatti Vikramka said that the yatra is not for elections and it is for uniting the people of the country.
The Bharat Jodo Yatra launched on 7 September 2022 will cover as many as 12 states.
The Yatra started from Kanyakumari and will end in Kashmir the following year by covering 25 km every day.
The 3500 kilometres yatra will be a historic event for the Congress and the entire country. It is the longest march on foot by any Indian politician in the history of India, the Congress said earlier in a statement.
Notably, Mahatma Gandhi’s Dandi march was the longest march by foot (389 kilometres in 24 days) between Sabarmati ashram to Dandi (Navasari) in Gujarat state.
Meanwhile, the Bharat Jodo Yatra started by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will enter Maharashtra from the Nanded district in the first week of November.
Bharat Jodo Yatra is getting support from various political parties and social organizations across the country and the response is increasing day by day. In Maharashtra too, the NCP and Shiv Sena (Thackeray faction) have agreed to participate in the yatra, adding to its importance.
Notably, all the party MPs, leaders and workers along with Rahul Gandhi are staying in containers.
Sleeping beds, toilets, and ACs are also installed in some of the containers. The arrangements have been made keeping in view the intense heat and humidity with the change of places.
The Congress suffered a debacle in the assembly polls held earlier this year and the Yatra is seen as an attempt to rally the party rank and file for the upcoming electoral battles.
