The Congress on Thursday appealed to all Opposition parties and civil society groups who believe that the country’s democracy is in peril to join its Bharat Jodo Yatra. The party also announced, that it may hold the yatra earlier than the schedule announced post the Udaipur conference.
After a meeting of Presidents of all State units, heads of frontal organisations of the party and other officer bearers that went on for two hours, party General Secretary Jairam Ramesh and senior leader Digivijay Singh, who chairs the coordination committee for the yatra briefed presspersons.
Mr. Ramesh said, “It had been announced in the Nav Sankalp in the Udaipur Chintan Shivir that the Bharat Jodo Yatra will begin on October 2nd, 2022. However, given the repeated and intensifying attacks on our democracy, our country’s Constitution, the nation’s institutions and the social fabric of our society by the Modi Sarkar and the BJP, the Congress party is now exploring the possibility of starting the Bharat Jodo Yatra earlier.”
