The Congress’ Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, led by former party president Rahul Gandhi, is traversing tribal pockets in central and south Gujarat. On Saturday, the yatra passed through Chhota Udepura, Bharuch and Narmada districts, with thousands of workers of the Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) joining the march.
Mr. Gandhi addressed a gathering of social workers in Narmada district, highlighting the journey’s focus on social justice, dialogue and welfare of Scheduled Castes, backward classes, and tribals.
In the seat-sharing arrangement between the parties, the Bharuch Lok Sabha seat, with a concentration of tribals and minorities, has gone to the AAP. First-time legislator Chaitar Vasava will be taking on the BJP’s senior-most parliamentarian, Mansukh Vasava, in this seat. Mr. Gandhi also met Mr. Chaitar Vasava during the march.
