Guwahati, Jan 15: The Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra launched by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, entered its second day on Monday, traversing Manipur’s Imphal West district towards Kangpokpi and Senapati.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi expressed criticism of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s absence in Manipur, calling it “shameful” during the second day of the Bharat Jodo Yatra.
Party leaders also observed a moment of silence for victims of state violence before commencing the day’s journey.
Several people, mostly women and children, had lined up along the yatra route and cheered on Gandhi as his bus made its way along several busy areas in Imphal.
The yatra began Sunday in violence-hit Manipur, with Gandhi asserting that the party will present a new vision for India that will be based on harmony, brotherhood, and equitability and devoid of hatred, violence, and monopolies.
The Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra will pass through 100 Lok Sabha constituencies in 15 states.
The Yatra, covering 6,700 kilometres across 110 districts in 67 days, aims to address national unity.
