Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra: Rahul Gandhi on Sunday is anticipated to begin the Congress’ Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra from the violence-hit Manipur. The Yatra, which can travel through 100 Lok Sabha segments in 15 states, is being seen because the celebration’s bid to set the narrative within the run-up to the Lok Sabha polls and put the highlight on points equivalent to unemployment, value rise and social justice. The Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, the celebration believes, will show to be as “transformative” as Gandhi’s earlier cross-country march.
The Congress has mentioned the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra is being organised to increase voice towards the “injustice” of the final 10 years. It has launched a “Nyay anthem” with the tagline “Saho Mat, Daro Mat (do not suffer, do not be scared)”.
Rahul Gandhi message earlier than yatra
Gandhi had on Friday mentioned emotional points are being “misused” politically and a spotlight is being diverted from actual points, in a “betrayal” of the individuals of the nation. In a put up on X, the previous Congress president mentioned, “The youth will have to think about what will be the identity of the India of our dreams? Quality of life or just emotions? Youth raising provocative slogans or the employed youth? Love or hate?”.
Partial Nod
The yatra will likely be flagged off from a personal floor in Manipur’s Thoubal district, as a substitute of Imphal, the celebration’s preliminary selection. The state authorities had given the Congress conditional approval to flag off the yatra from the Palace grounds, limiting the variety of individuals. Therefore, the Congress determined to go for one other venue. Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and all high leaders of the celebration will likely be in Thoubal to flag off the yatra.
Manipur violence
Manipur has been rocked by ethnic violence since May final yr which has claimed over 180 lives. The violence erupted on May 3 final yr after a ‘Tribal Solidarity March’ was organised within the hill districts to protest towards the Meitei group’s demand for Scheduled Tribe (ST) standing.

The Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra would traverse 6,713 km principally in buses but in addition on foot. The yatra will cowl 110 districts, 100 Lok Sabha seats and 337 meeting segments in 67 days, earlier than its finale in Mumbai on March 20 or 21.
Bharat Jodo Yatra 2.0
Congress basic secretary Jairam Ramesh has asserted that the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra would show to be as impactful and transformative as the sooner over 4,000-km Bharat Jodo Yatra. During the Bharat Jodo Yatra, Gandhi had raised three huge problems with rising inequality, rising social polarisation and rising political tyranny and authoritarianism, and the best way out of that is to guarantee justice for individuals, Ramesh has mentioned.
