Mumbai: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi led ‘Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra’ is likely to enter Maharashtra by March 15. It is expected to travel 479km and pass from six districts before culminating in Mumbai on March 20. The final plan for the yatra is yet to come.

According to the party insiders, the yatra will enter from Nandurbar district which shares a border with Gujarat. It will come from Mandvi in Kutch district of Gujarat and from Nandurbar it will travel to districts such as Dhule, Jalgaon, Nashik and Thane before entering the financial capital.

“Rahul Gandhi ji will walk around 479 km in the state in five days to raise the issues of unemployment, inflation and social justice among other issues. The BJP wants to divide and rule the country against which our leader is raising his voice,” said Nana Patole, Maharashtra Congress chief on Thursday.

The party is planning a grand event for the culmination ceremony for the 66-day long ‘Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra’ which will conclude in Mumbai. “The party is looking at the historic Azad Maidan or Shivaji Park as the potential venues for the programme. We have yet to finalise a venue which will be based on the final details of the yatra that is expected to come in the coming days,” said a senior Congress leader, wishing to remain anonymous.
