Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra to cover 650 km in six days in MP: Congress

BHOPAL: Rahul Gandhi-led Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra will cover a 650-km distance in six days after entering Madhya Pradesh, a senior Congress leader said on Sunday.

AICC General Secretary in-charge of Madhya Pradesh Jitendra Singh said the schedule of the yatra, including the date of arrival, will be announced later.

"We discussed the route the Yatra will take in MP, places of public meetings, etc today. The Yatra will cover a stretch of 650 km in six days in Madhya Pradesh," Singh told reporters in Gwalior.

He said the program was discussed with Congress MLAs in the Gwalior division, district presidents, and senior leaders.

"We will soon inform you about the Yatra's route, places of public meetings and road shows, etc. The team managing this Yatra and local leaders will chalk out the programme by visiting the route," he said.

Singh said shortcomings during the previous Yatra (Bharat Jodo Yatra) are being avoided this time.

The Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, which started in Manipur, will culminate in Mumbai on March 20.
