Congress spokesperson Mahima Singh stated on Saturday that Rahul Gandhi, a leader of the party, has selected Manipur as the starting point for the ‘Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra’ due to his concerns about the state’s situation. Singh also accused the BJP of neglecting the problems faced by the people and focusing solely on “headline management.” She emphasized that wherever the BJP is in power, people’s issues are being sidelined. Singh pointed out the volatile situation in Manipur and highlighted that Rahul Gandhi was one of the few national leaders who visited and spent time there. This is why he has chosen Manipur to launch the yatra. Manipur has experienced an ethnic conflict between the Kuki and Meitei communities, resulting in more than 180 deaths and several hundred injuries since May last year.
The Manipur-to-Maharashtra yatra, led by Rahul Gandhi, will commence on January 14 and cover a distance of 6,713 km. Participants will travel by buses and on foot. When asked about the goals of the yatra, Singh stated that it is not solely focused on elections but also aims to protect the Constitution and democracy. In Assam, the yatra will take place from January 18-25, covering a distance of 1,833 km across 17 districts. Former minister and MLA Bharat Narah provided these details and mentioned that senior All India Congress Committee (AICC) leaders V C Venugopal and Jitendra Singh will meet with district party chiefs and state office-bearers on January 9 to discuss preparations for the yatra.
During Gandhi’s tour of Assam, various organizations will have the opportunity to interact with him and present their issues. Important topics such as the demand for Scheduled Tribe (ST) status for six communities, the National Register of Citizens (NRC), and the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) will also be raised. The Congress aims to address these concerns during the yatra.
