Congress launches crowdfunding campaign for Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra

The Congress launched a crowdfunding campaign, Donate for Nyay, for the ongoing Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, under which people will get a Rahul Gandhi-signed letter or merchandise in return for their donation.

Congress treasurer Ajay Maken, along with general secretary (communication) Jairam Ramesh, launched the campaign at the All India Congress Committee headquarters. To mark the 6,713 km-long yatra, the party will receive donations in multiples of 67. Any person who donates ₹670 or more will get a T-shirt signed by Rahul Gandhi as a gift.

“Those who donate ₹67,000 or more will get a ‘Nyay Kit’ which will contain a T-shirt, bag, band, badge and sticker,” Mr. Maken said.

“For anything that one donates, he or she will get a letter signed by Rahul ji and a certificate of donation,” he added.

The Congress treasurer also said that under the party’s ‘Donate for Desh’ crowdfunding campaign launched on December 18 last year, ₹20 crore had been collected.

Within two hours of launching the ‘Donate for Nyay’ campaign, ₹2 crore had been collected, the Congress treasurer said.
