Congress on Saturday said that the ‘Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra’ starting from Sunday from Manipur under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi is not an electoral but an ideological journey and it is being taken out against the ‘injustice period’ of the last 10 years of the Modi government. . A day before the start of the yatra, party general secretary Jairam Ramesh, while targeting the Bharatiya Janata Party, said that today the country is facing the challenge of an ideology which believes in polarization, making the rich richer and political dictatorship. Ramesh said the yatra will pass through five northeastern states during the next 11 days. On January 23, Rahul Gandhi will address the people in Guwahati in connection with the manifesto. Congress has also invited leaders of its allies of the opposition alliance ‘India’ for this yatra and it is hopeful that prominent leaders of the parties associated with this alliance in various states will be a part of the yatra. Ramesh said Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Saturday has formally invited leaders of constituent parties of the ‘India’ alliance to participate in the yatra.

This is not an election or political journey – Congress
Congress says that ‘Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra’ is not an election journey, but to demand justice for the country. However, his visit, which is starting a week before the Ram Mandir Pran Pratistha ceremony, is being seen as an attempt to create a discussion related to unemployment, inflation and social justice in the Lok Sabha elections. Rahul Gandhi on Friday claimed that the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) were politically misusing emotional issues by diverting attention from the real issues.

If conditions are not followed then permission to travel will be canceled – Manipur Government
The Manipur government has imposed restrictions on the program of Congress’ ‘Bharat Jodo Nyaya Yatra’ to be launched from Thobal district on January 14, saying that the program should not last more than one hour and the maximum number of participants should be 3,000. . The Thobal Deputy Commissioner’s office had issued the permission order on January 11 and the party shared it with reporters on Saturday, a day before the yatra.
The permission order states that the program should not exceed one hour as the venue is adjacent to the National Highway and traffic will have to be diverted to alternative routes. It says that the maximum number of participants in the program should be limited to 3,000. Congress has changed the venue from Imphal Palace Ground to a private ground in Thobal. Earlier, the BJP-led N Biren Singh government had given conditional approval to start the Yatra from the Palace Ground in Imphal by limiting the number of people to 1,000.
