Ashok Gehlot, the Chief Minister of Rajasthan, joined the Congress party’s Bharat Jodo Yatra on Saturday along with other party members.
From the village of Rangpuria in Rajasthan’s Bundi district, the padayatra was resumed. “Cleanliness warriors, and sweepers are also joining the ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’. #BharatJodoYatra There is a journey of every class, there is a platform to raise the issues of every class,” tweeted CM Gehlot.
Many people carrying banners and party flags were seen joining the march. The 3,570-kilometre Bharat Jodo Yatra, which started on September 7 in Kanyakumari, will travel an additional 2,355 miles. Next year, it will conclude in Kashmir. The Congress asserted earlier in a statement that it is the longest march on foot by any Indian politician in India’s history.
The assembly elections for this year’s elections were a disaster for the Congress, and the Yatra is considered as an effort to galvanise the party’s base for the forthcoming elections. The Bharat Jodo Yatra has so far travelled through portions of Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, and parts of the states of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Madhya Pradesh, and Maharashtra. It has recently entered Rajasthan.
On December 8, the president of the Congress party, Mallikarjun Kharge, claimed that Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra had improved the party’s standing in Himachal Pradesh, a hill state. “We have won the Himachal elections. I want to thank the people, our workers and leaders as due to their efforts this result has come. I want to thank Priyanka Gandhi. Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra also helped us with this. Sonia Gandhi’s blessings are also with us,” Kharge said.
