This happened on the day Rahul Gandhi began his Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, the 2.0 version of his Bharat Jodo Yatra. The Yatra began from Manipur. Rahul Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge, and other senior Congress leaders were present at the Yatra. The Yatra will traverse through almost 15 states and 100 Lok Sabha constituencies. This is critical because this is different from the Bharat Jodo yatra. The Congress says that this is focused on elections and electoral gains.
