After completing 15 days in Telangana, 'Bharat Jodo Yatra' is all set to enter Maharashtra later on Monday evening. Congress MP Rahul Gandhi will address two rallies on November 10 and 18 in the state, said party officials.
The yatra that began on September 7 from Kanyakumari is scheduled to complete 61 days on Monday. The yatra will be reaching Deglur in Maharastra.
As per the Congress schedule, Rahul will address two rallies in Nanded and Buldhana districts during the yatra. The yatra will travel through 15 Assembly and 6 parliamentary constituencies in the state.
The yatra before entering Madhya Pradesh on November 20 will cover a distance of 382 kms across five districts.
The yatra will proceed through Nanded district for four days and enter Hingoli district on November 11, Washim on November 15, Akola on November 16 and Buldhana on November 18, reported PTI.
The yatra aims to protect the Constitution and democratic values, said Congress president Nana Patole while addressing a press conference in Nanded on Sunday.
"Ours is not a political yatra. It is aimed at highlighting the issues plaguing the country. Many prominent personalities we contacted said they support the yatra, but would not come in the open," Nana was quoted by PTI.
According to reports, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) president Sharad Pawar and former chief minister Uddhav Thackeray is likely to take part in the yatra.
