NORTH LAKHMIPUR: The Rahul Gandhi-led Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra will take a two-day break next week, Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said on Saturday.
Addressing a press conference at Gobindapur in Assam's Lakhimpur district, he said the Yatra will take the break on January 26 and 27.
"The Yatra will enter West Bengal around noon on January 25. After a night halt at Alipurduar, there will be two rest days, and it will resume again on January 28," he said.
