ANI said that Congress General Secretary (Communications) Jairam Ramesh explained the yatra’s larger purpose: “A political party is organizing the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra. We go yatra for political reasons to safeguard the Constitution. It is an ideological, not electoral, yatra.”
He pointed out the distinction between political and electoral yatras.
The yatra raises awareness of unemployment, price hikes, and social justice. The Congress claims the initiative will restore the Constitution’s principles of justice, liberty, equality, and fraternity after the government failed to address them in Parliament.
“PM Modi displays bright dreams of Amritkal, but ‘the last 10 years have been a period of injustice’. Jairam Ramesh said the ‘Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra’ is being held in memory of the last decade’s social, economic, and political injustice.
The yatra will be noteworthy in Manipur, which has struggled with ethnic conflict since May. After a day in Manipur, the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra will visit Nagaland, Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Maharashtra

The Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra would cover 110 districts, 100 Lok Sabha seats, and 337 assembly divisions in 67 days, ending in Mumbai on March 20 or 21. With a Nyay hymn titled “Saho Mat, Daro Mat” (do not suffer, do not be terrified), the Congress has called the yatra a protest against the perceived injustices of the last decade.
Congress Invites I.N.D.I.A. Leaders To ‘Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra’
After disappointing assembly elections, the Congress needs the march’s timing to revive its political position. The party wants to focus on bread-and-butter matters rather than emotional issues like the Ram temple consecration.
PTI reports that Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge and other officials will launch the yatra in Thoubal. The party has also asked I.N.D.I.A. leaders to join the yatra at any stage.
Kharge announced on X that the party invited I.N.D.I.A. bloc leaders for the Congress footmarch again, “Everyone is pleased with the seat-sharing agreements. I and Rahul Gandhi invited all Indian parties to the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra.”
Rahul Gandhi will address groups and meet with civil society and organizations twice a day during the yatra, sticking to a timetable.
Congress views the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra as a continuation of the 2022 Bharat Jodo Yatra, which helped it win elections in Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka, and Telangana.
