Imphal:

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi began the second day of his Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra from Sekmai in Imphal on Monday and interacted with the people who had lined up along the route to greet him.

Starting the yatra in a custom-made Volvo bus, Mr Gandhi also walked for some distance meeting people and enquiring about their problems.

Several people, mostly women and children, had lined up along the yatra route and cheered on Mr Gandhi as his bus made its way along several busy areas in Imphal.

In a post on X, Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said, "Day 2 of the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra began bright and early at 7:30 am with the traditional flag hoisting by Seva Dal at the campsite. PCC President of Manipur @meghachandra_k hoisted the flag."

"The yatra will move from Sekmai to Kangpokpi and then Senapati in Manipur before finally halting in Nagaland at night," he said.

The yatra began Sunday from violence-hit Manipur with Mr Gandhi asserting that the party will present a new vision for India that will be based on harmony, brotherhood and equitability and devoid of hatred, violence and monopoly.

The Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra will pass through 100 Lok Sabha constituencies in 15 states. It will traverse 6,713 km, mostly in buses but also on foot, and culminate in Mumbai on March 20 or 21.
