The ‘Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra’ is set to cover a distance of 479 km, passing through six districts before culminating in Mumbai.
The ‘Bharat Jodo Nyaya Yatra’, led by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, is poised to make its mark on Maharashtra starting March 12, with final preparations for this leg of the journey nearing completion. The yatra will begin from Nandurbar and end in a grand ceremony at Mumbai’s Shivaji Park ground on March 17.
Nana Patole, Maharashtra Congress chief, announced that key figures from the Opposition INDIA alliance will join the concluding rally, which will also mark the beginning of the campaign for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
A preparatory meeting chaired by Maharashtra In-charge Ramesh Chennithala and Patole was recently held to finalize the details. Local leaders were assigned specific tasks during this meeting.
Patole, speaking to the media after the meeting, outlined the various programs planned from Nandurbar to Mumbai. “The yatra will pass through the historical locations associated with Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Rajarshi Shahu Maharaj, Mahatma Phule, and Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar. These legacies have been overlooked by the BJP’s assaults on democratic principles,” he emphasized.
The ‘Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra’ is expected to cover a distance of 479 km, passing through six districts before ending in Mumbai. It will begin in Nandurbar district, bordering Gujarat, and travel through Dhule, Jalgaon, Nashik, and Thane before reaching the financial hub.
The timing of the yatra coincides with a challenging period for the Congress in Maharashtra, marked by the departure of senior leaders like Ashok Chavan, Milind Deora, and Baba Siddique. Nevertheless, the state Congress leadership is confident that the yatra will boost the morale of both the state and Mumbai unit ahead of the crucial elections.
