After Rahul Gandhi’s recently concluded Bharat Jodo Yatra, the Congress is now planning another transcountry campaign. The second leg of the Bharat Jodo Yatra will cover several states in the country moving east to west. As per Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh, the start and end points of Bharat Jodo Yatra 2.0 could be Pasighat in Arunachal Pradesh to Porbandar in Gujarat.

The information on another yatra in the works comes after Rahul Gandhi on Sunday made a call to his partymen to take the “tapasya” of the Bharat Jodo Yatra forward. The Congress party workers have a lot of enthusiasm and energy for another yatra, Ramesh added. 

The Bharat Jodo Yatra led by former Congress president Rahul Gandhi was a south-to-north 4000 km journey consisting of road shows from Kanyakumari in Tamil Nadu to Jammu and Kashmir.

Sharing more details regarding the next yatra, Ramesh said that the format could differ a little from the Bharat Jodo Yatra. The infrastructure may not be as elaborate as last time and lesser ‘yatris’ may be mobilised. 

While it would largely be a yatra on foot, it will also be a multi-modal yatra considering there are forests and rivers on the route. About the timing, he said that the Bharat Jodo Yatra 2.0 could happen either before June or before November due to Karnataka polls in April, rains from June and again state polls in November this year. The duration will also be shorter this time. The decisions will be taken in the coming few weeks.
