Every contributor who donates at least Rs 670 - 10 paise per kilometre for the 6,700-km Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra - will receive a T-shit signed by Mr Gandhi, the Congress announced at a press conference today. Those donating Rs 67 will get a letter signed by him.
Rs 2 crore donation was received within two hours of the announcement, the party said, adding that the crowdfunding campaign has so far generated funds worth Rs 20 crore.
