Mysuru, Oct 03, 2022: Congress chief Sonia Gandhi will reach Karnataka today to take part in the Bharat Jodo Yatra led by Rahul Gandhi. She will walk with Congress leaders and workers on October 6.

Upon arrival, Sonia Gandhi will fly to Madikeri in Coorg and stay in a private resort.

 

Rahul Gandhi will finish the Mysuru stretch of the yatra and fly to meet Sonia Gandhi in Madikeri. The mother-son duo will spend two days in Coorg before resuming the Bharat Jodo Yatra on October 6.

Congress’s Bharat Jodo Yatra resumed from Mysuru city on Monday, October 3 at around 6:30 am, hours after Rahul Gandhi delivered one of the highlights of the yatra so far. Rahul Gandhi delivered a speech amid a heavy downpour, and visuals of him addressing party workers, drenched in rain, went viral.

 

भारत को एकजुट करने से,
हमें कोई नहीं रोक सकता।

भारत की आवाज़ उठाने से,
हमें कोई नहीं रोक सकता।

कन्याकुमारी से कश्मीर तक जाएगी, भारत जोड़ो यात्रा को कोई नहीं रोक सकता। pic.twitter.com/sj80bLsHbF

The Wayanad MP shared the video with a caption, "No one can stop us from uniting India. No one can stop us from raising the voice of India. No one can stop the Bharat Jodo Yatra from going from Kanyakumari to Kashmir."

"Seems like Bapu is looking down from heaven, bestowing blessings on this brave man who moves to unite the divided nation. The one who lost so much in the service of this nation fights fearlessly against the repressive govt. Courage & Conviction personified!" said Indian Youth Congress chief Srinivas BV in a tweet with an image of Rahul Gandhi soaked to the bone.

The Bharat Jodo Yatra, which began on September 7 from Kanyakumari, has already completed 624 km and is currently in Karnataka’s Mysuru. At around 11 am today, the yatra will enter Srirangapatna in Mandya district. The evening leg of the yatra will begin at 2 pm and will reach Pandavapura by 4:30 pm.

After today’s leg, the yatra will resume on October 6 after a two-day break due to festivals. Sonia Gandhi will join the yatra when it resumes. This will be the first time the current Congress chief will be joining the yatra.

The yatra has entered a crucial phase with the Karnataka leg as the state goes to polls next year. This is the first time it is passing through a BJP-ruled state.

On Sunday, Rahul Gandhi paid floral tributes, attended a prayer session, and visited a Khadi cooperative on the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti. Later in the evening, hundreds of people raised pro-Congress slogans as he delivered an address amid heavy rains and asserted that nothing can "stop us from uniting the country" through the ongoing Bharat Jodo Yatra.

"This river-like journey will persist, and in this river you will not find any trace of hate or violence. There will only be love and brotherhood as this is India’s history and DNA," Rahul Gandhi told workers, drenched in rain.
