Please tell that Sonia Gandhi has not participated in any public program of the party for a long time. She joined it on the 26th day of the five-month-long Bharat Jodi Yatra from Kanyakumari to Kashmir. Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi is expected to join the foot march on October 7.

 

My journey in the state started from Gundlupet in Karnataka

Rahul Gandhi, who started his yatra from Kanyakumari last month, is continuously walking on foot. The Yatra started in the state from Gundlupet in Karnataka on 30th September via Kerala.

 

Journey passing through BJP-ruled state

 

The journey has entered a crucial phase with its entry into Karnataka. Assembly elections are due in the state next year. This is the first time that this yatra is passing through a BJP-ruled state. Earlier this yatra had gone through Tamil Nadu and Kerala, where there is no BJP government.

 

Significantly, this 3,570 km long march from Kanyakumari to Srinagar will cover 12 states and two union territories in five months.
