Bharat Jodo Yatra

The Kanyakumari to Kashmir Yatra, a mass contact initiative of the Congress, which started on September 7, has so far covered Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Telangana, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan.

After the Yatra entered Haryana from Rajasthan on Wednesday, Gandhi had targeted the BJP, suggesting that while his party gave voice to farmers and labourers another ideology benefited only a select few. Gandhi had also slammed the ruling party over inflation and unemployment.
