The morning session of the 150-day-long Yatra will cover a distance of around 11 km before concluding at Wadakkanchery at around 11 a.m.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday resumed the Bharat Jodo Yatra from Thiroor in the district accompanied by hundreds of party workers holding banners and placards against the high cooking gas prices in the country.
The morning session of the 150-day-long Yatra will cover a distance of around 11 km before concluding at Wadakkanchery at around 11 a.m.
Senior Congress leaders including, K Muraleedharan, K C Venugopal, Ramesh Chennithala, Leader of Opposition, V D Satheesan and MPs from the district among others joined Gandhi in his walk.
The Congress workers were carrying placards in the shape of gas cylinders highlighting steep cooking gas prices in the country.
Mr. Gandhi had on Saturday launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the rise in fuel and cooking gas prices in the country, and charged that the BJP and the RSS were spreading hate and violence to distract the people from such main issues.
"A gas cylinder used to cost Rs 400 when the UPA government was in power. The prime minister went on complaining about the Rs 400 for gas cylinders. But today he doesn't say a word about Rs 1,000 for gas cylinders," the Congress leader had said while addressing a massive crowd at Thrissur.
The Congress on Sunday asked the people to join it in its "historic movement as we march on to rebuild an India"- strong, self-reliant, among the leaders of the world.
