Congress leader Rahul Gandhi interacts with representatives of various civil society organisations during the 'Bharat Jodo Yatra' conclave at Constitution Club, in New Delhi. (PTI)The stage is set for Rahul Gandhi to launch the Congress’s 3,570-km Bharat Jodo Yatra from Kanyakumari on Wednesday, with the party describing the march as its biggest mass-contact programme to date.
The avowed objective of the Yatra is to unite the country and rally the common people against the “prevailing politics of fear, bigotry and prejudice” besides flagging the problems of increasing unemployment, rising prices and growing inequalities.
Just ahead of the launch of the Yatra, Rahul Gandhi will take part in a prayer meeting at his father and ex-prime minister late Rajiv Gandhi’s memorial in Sriperumbudur. Rahul will then attend an event in Kanyakumari, where Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin, Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot and Chhattisgarh CM Bhupesh Baghel will be present. The former Congress chief will be handed over a khadi national flag there.
Rahul along with his fellow Yatris and other Congress leaders will then walk to the venue of the public rally from where the yatra will be formally taken out.
In a video message, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has urged the people to join the Yatra wherever possible. She asserted that the Yatra is needed as negative politics is being practised in the country and real public issues not discussed.
