The Congress on Wednesday announced it will hold a ‘Bharat Nyay Yatra’ led by Rahul Gandhi from Manipur to Mumbai.

“After the Bharat Jodo Yatra, the Congress will take out a Bharat Nyay Yatra under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi ji,” Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh announced.

The yatra will begin from January and cover 14 states and 85 districts. The yatra will conclude on March 20, covering around 6,200 km, traversing through Manipur, Nagaland, Assam, Meghalaya, West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand, Orissa, Chhattisgarh, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat and Maharashtra.

The yatra will be flagged off by Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge from Imphal on January 14. The yatra will focus on securing economic, social and political justice for the people of the country, Ramesh said.

The yatra was announced following a unanimous resolution of the Congress Working Committee on December 21 that Gandhi should undertake the second phase of the yatra from the east to west.
