Rahul Gandhi will cover over 6,700 kilometres over 67 days, going through 110 districts throughout the Yatra.
Ahead of their departure from Delhi, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge said on Sunday that the party aims to reach every house till people get the right to justice.
«We will reach every house, till we get the right to justice! Bharat Jodo Nyaya Yatra will begin from Thoubal, Manipur today. People's beloved Shri @RahulGandhiji will lead this national mass movement of the Congress Party, covering a distance of 6700 KM from 15 states,» Kharge said in a post on 'X'.
The Congress President said that the party intends to interact with every section of society along the way.
