Congress Bhara Jodo Yatra: The 3500-km yatra from Kanyakumari to Kashmir will pass through 12 states and is the first such major exercise in decade.
The Congress will reach out to civil society members and like-minded political groups for the 'Bharat Jodo' yatra from October 2 for rallying support to combat polarisation and protect Constitution, democracy and various institutions, senior party leaders said on Thursday.
The 3500-km yatra from Kanyakumari to Kashmir will pass through 12 states and is the first such major exercise in decades, covering the entire stretch of the country from south to north, they said, days after the party announced the initiative at its Chintan Shivir in Udaipur.
Congress chief Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi will also hold a day-long session with 70 working presidents in states, ministers in party-ruled states, besides some party spokespersons and others left out at the Shivir, and will hear them out.
The leaders said the Congress chief would announce a task force very soon to give final shape to the decisions taken in the Udaipur declaration in a phased manner.
