Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh has rejected requests from the Congress party to hold a march through the state. Despite this, party leaders are determined to proceed with the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, which will commence from Imphal next week. Rahul Gandhi, the MP from Wayanad, will lead this east-to-west march, covering 110 districts in 12 states, in preparation for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
“We will start the Bharat Jodo Yatra from Manipur regardless of the obstacles. This is a peaceful demonstration, and we do not want to politicize it or create any issues in Manipur. We are willing to cooperate with the government on any level possible,” stated KC Venugopal, the party’s general secretary.
Reports indicate that the Congress party has also sought permission for an alternative location in Imphal. The yatra is scheduled to commence on January 14, with participants traveling by bus and foot to cover a total distance of 6,713 kilometers.
More updates on this matter will be provided soon.
