Lucknow/Ghaziabad/Baghpat: Preparations are afoot for Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ in Uttar Pradesh, an event Congress leaders hope will galvanize the party’s workers and make the masses aware of the “misrule” of the BJP government at the Centre.

According to Uttar Pradesh Congress leaders, the march will enter the state on January 3 and cover a distance of 120 kilometres before crossing over to Haryana on January 5.

AICC general secretary (communications) Jairam Ramesh recently said that the yatra, which is currently on a winter break, will resume from the Hanuman Mandir in Delhi’s Kashmere Gate on January 3 and enter Uttar Pradesh’s Ghaziabad around noon.
