The Maharashtra portion of the Bharat Jodo Yatra is presently underway. Before entering Maharashtra, the Yatra passed through Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana. Rahul Gandhi is slated to visit 15 Assembly and 6 Parliamentary Constituencies in five districts of Maharashtra, covering a distance of 382 kilometres before entering Madhya Pradesh.
The Congress claimed earlier in a statement that it was the longest march on foot by any Indian politician in Indian history. The Bharat Jodo Yatra is receiving support from a wide range of political parties and social organisations around the country, and the response is growing by the day.
The Congress' Bharat Jodo Yatra, led by Rahul Gandhi, has reached its 71st day since its launch, with the leg currently in Maharashtra. The Yatra has so far crossed 30 districts in six states and is now in the Maharashtra district of Akola.
The Bharat Jodo Yatra, which started on September 7 in Kanyakumari, has yet to cover 1608 kilometres of the overall route of 3,570 kilometres. The Yatra will conclude in Kashmir next year.
