Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will launch the ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ here on Wednesday.
Before launching the mega rally, the former Congress chief will take part in a prayer meeting at former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi’s memorial in Tamil Nadu’s Sriperumbudur.
From there, he will arrive at Kanyakumari and will visit Thiruvalluvar Memorial Vivekananda Memorial, and Kamraj Memorial. Also, there will be a prayer meeting at Mahatama Gandhi Mandapam, following which, Rahul Gandhi will launch the Yatra in the presence of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin, Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel, and Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot among others.
The three Chief Ministers will hand over the national flag to participants of the rally, which will pass through 12 states and will cover 3,500 km from Kanyakumari to Jammu and Kashmir in five months (150 days). As many as 118 leaders will participate in it.
According to a Congress leader, the purpose behind the march with the national flag is that the party wants other like-minded parties and civil society groups to join the program.
