“Rahul ji spent the night at Sonapur and started the journey around 8 am from here. He is now at Islampur and is likely to address a small gathering. He will be going to Kishanganj,” the party leader said.

The yatra, which began in Manipur on January 14, entered West Bengal from Assam on January 25 and took a two-day break, during which Mr. Gandhi returned to New Delhi.

It is scheduled to re-enter West Bengal on January 31 via Malda and then after travelling through Murshidabad, it will leave the State on February 1.
