Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra,’ which is set to begin on January 14 from Manipur, would focus on the country’s core social, political, and economic challenges, according to party chairman Mallikarjun Kharge on Saturday. Kharge also unveiled the logo and motto for the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, “Nyay Ka Haq Milne Tak.”
“The ‘Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra’ will begin on January 14.” This yatra, led by Rahul Gandhi, will begin in Imphal, Manipur, and will go across 15 states before terminating in Mumbai. “This yatra will cover 110 districts, 100 Lok Sabha seats, and 337 assembly seats,” Congress President Rahul Gandhi said at a press conference.
Taking to social media X, Rahul Gandhi said, “We are coming back among our own people, against injustice and ego – by raising the slogan of justice.”
“I swear on this path of truth, the journey will continue until I get the right to justice,” Rahul Gandhi added sharing a video featuring the Bharat Jodo Yatra led by him earlier.

अन्याय और अहंकार के विरुद्ध – ‘न्याय की ललकार’ लेकर।

The yatra would travel nearly 6,700 kilometers in 67 days, according to state Congress spokesperson Dhananjay Thakur.
The yatra is anticipated to arrive in Chhattisgarh between February 16 and 17, covering seven districts in five days in the state where tribals account for around 32% of the population, according to Thakur.
The Congress considers and ‘satyagraha’ is an effective instrument for fighting for public rights, and that “Bharat Jodo Nyay Padayatra will prove to be the country’s largest and most transformative satyagraha since independence,” he stated.
According to political experts, the Congress looks to boost the morale of party workers in Chhattisgarh through the yatra ahead of the Lok Sabha elections since the party suffered a shock defeat in the recent assembly polls in the state.
The Bharatiya Janata Party won 54 seats in Chhattisgarh’s 90-member assembly, while the Congress won 35 seats, down from 68 in 2018. One was won by the Gondwana Gantantra Party.
Previously, senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh had claimed that the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra would prove to be as transformative for politics as Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ from Kanyakumari to Kashmir.
