Rahul Gandhi took to social media and 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.”
The yatra is strategically planned to engage with the public on basic issues, fostering a connection between leaders and citizens. The Congress considers this march, labelled ‘satyagraha,’ a potent tool in advocating for public rights and deems it a transformative initiative for the country.
The Yatra will pass through seven districts of Chhattisgarh in February, where the party recently faced defeat against BJP in the assembly elections. According to a map released by the party, it will cover the states of Manipur, Nagaland, Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Maharashtra in over 66 days and culminate in Mumbai.
