The Morning Standard
|January 14, 2024
THE Congress on Saturday said its ‘Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra’, to be taken out from Manipur on Sunday under Rahul Gandhi’s leadership, is a political rally which has nothing to do with elections.
-
Congress leader Jairam Ramesh told journalists in Manipur capital Imphal that Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra is the second phase of Bharat Jodo Yatra. A bevy of party leaders, including chief ministers of all Congress-ruled states, will take part in the launch of the yatra.
“This is an ideological yatra, not an electoral yatra. This is a political rally, being taken out by a political party with a political purpose. Our purpose is to protect the Constitution, the preamble of the Constitution, the principles – justice, liberty equality and fraternity,” Ramesh said.
