Rahul Gandhi to visit Khadi Centre at Badanavalu on Sunday

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, whose Bharat Jodo Yatra entered Mysuru district on Saturday, is scheduled to visit the Khadi Gramudyog Centre at Badanavalu in Nanjangud on Sunday for Gandhi Jayanti.

Mr. Gandhi is scheduled to drive from Thandavapura, where his padayatra concluded on Saturday, early on Sunday morning to reach the Khadi Gramudyog Centre at Badanavalu, which was also visited by Mahatma Gandhi in 1927. He is also scheduled to visit Srikanteshwara Temple in Nanjangud later in the day on Sunday.

Meanwhile, the second day of Karnataka leg of Bharat Jodo yatra from Tondavadi Gate in Gundlupet, which was scheduled to start at 6.30 a.m., was delayed due to rains. “The rains arrived after a gap of 15 days and will benefit farmers. This is exactly what the Yatra is for, directly or indirectly!”, tweeted Jairam Ramesh, the Congress party’s General Secretary in charge of Communications.
