On Thursday, the Congress renamed the ‘Bharat Nyay Yatra’ to Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, which is scheduled to kick off on January 14 from the northeastern state of Manipur to Mumbai. Today, Congress MP Jairam Ramesh chaired a press conference in which he briefed the media about renaming the Yatra and revealed its details. The Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra will begin on January 14 at noon from Manipur’s capital, Imphal, which has been under unrest since May 2023.
Rahul Gandhi will cover the 6,700-km march in just 66 days. During the Bharat Jodo Yatra, Rahul Gandhi covered 4080 KMS in 136 days. This means in the second leg of the Bharat Jodo Yatra, Gandhi will cover more distance in fewer days.
The Bharat Nyay Yata will cover 15 states, while The Bharat Jodo Yatra had covered 12 states. The Yatra will spend the most time in Uttar Pradesh, which is first in terms of Lok Sabha constituencies, with 80 seats. The Yatra will remain in UP for 11 days and cover 1074 Km.
Jairam Ramesh also invited India partners to join the Yatra. During the Bharat Jodo Yatra, many leaders from the opposition had joined Gandhi in his walk. Aditya Thackeray, Supriya Sule, and former Jammu and Kashmir CM Ommar Abdullah are some of the names.
The Yatra led by Rahul Gandhi will go through around 100 Lok Sabha constituencies, 337 Vidhan Sabha constituencies and 110 districts in just 66 days. Jairam Ramesh also informed that the logo and anthem of Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra will be launched soon. He further expressed his confidence that the Yatra would bring change.
Jairam Ramesh further said after a 3-hour meeting with the Congress top leaders. The party came to a consensus that the success of the Bharat Jodo Yatra had led to Bharat Jodo Yatra becoming a brand. It had become embedded in the people’s minds, and the value of the Bharat Jodo Yatra should not be lost. Ramesh further said the constitution’s preamble inspires the Nyay idea of social, economic, and political justice, which is the preamble’s first line.
