Bharat Jodo Yatra a transformative event in India's politics: Congress
The Hindu
The Congress hails the Bharat Jodo Yatra as a transformative political event addressing key social and economic issues in India.
The Congress on Saturday (January 31, 2026) said the Rahul Gandhi-led Bharat Jodo Yatra that took to the people the three messages of sharpening economic inequalities, deepening social polarisation and increasing political authoritarianism was a profoundly transformative event in India's politics.
In an X post, Congress general secretary in-charge of communications Jairam Ramesh recalled that the Kanyakumari-to-Kashmir 'padyatra' concluded three years ago with Gandhi's stirring speech in Srinagar.
"The 4,000 km padyatra was undertaken by Rahul Gandhi and over 200 Bharat Yatris on foot from Kanyakumari to Kashmir. It went on for over 145 days, covering 12 States and 2 UTs," Mr. Ramesh wrote in the post.
"The yatra that took to the people the three messages of sharpening economic inequalities, deepening social polarisation, and increasing political authoritarianism was a profoundly transformative event in our country's politics," he wrote.
It will be recalled and cherished for decades to come, Mr. Ramesh added.
The Bharat Jodo Yatra ended on January 30, 2023, with leaders of several parties joining Congress leader Rahul Gandhi as he capped his ambitious journey that covered about 4,000 kilometers from Kanyakumari to Kashmir.
