Last year’s cross-country march saw Rahul Gandhi and several Congress leaders cover more than 4,000 kilometers and interact with a cross-section of society. Gandhi launched the yatra on September 7, 2022 at Kanyakumari. It ended on January 30 this year as he capped his ambitious yatra of 145 days.
The Congress on Thursday took out rallies in the national capital to mark the first anniversary of the Bharat Jodo Yatra from Kanyakumari to Kashmir, while New Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee chief Arvinder Singh Lovely and some party workers offered gifts prayers at Kalkaji Mandir.
Last year’s cross-country march saw Rahul Gandhi and several Congress leaders cover more than 4,000 kilometers and interact with a cross-section of society. Gandhi launched the yatra on September 7, 2022 at Kanyakumari. It ended on January 30 this year, when Gandhi completed his ambitious 145-day trip to Srinagar.
In Delhi, slogans such as “Mehangai aur berozgari se nata todo, Bharat jodo”, “Bharat judega, India jeetega” and “Congress ko lana hai, desh ko bachana hai” resonated at the rallies.
Activists from the Indian Youth Congress, All India Mahila Congress and the National Union of Indian Students also participated in the rallies.
“The Bharat Jodo Yatra created a new revolution of love and peace while Rahul Gandhi’s marathon yatra dealt a major blow to the communal and political forces trying to stir up unrest and hatred in the country. For the Congress, the unity and integrity of the country is the top priority,” Lovely said.
Describing Delhi as the “soul of the nation”, Lovely said the Sheila Dikshit-led city government had developed the national capital during its 15-year tenure.
“The Congress has never allowed communal harmony to be disrupted in Delhi. The Delhi Congress will regain its pre-eminent position in the capital very soon,” he added.
