Speaking to ANI, Tyagi said, “Congress’ Bharat Jodo Yatra should not be seen as a campaign for Opposition unity.” The Congress has invited leaders of 21 political parties, including the Nitish Kumar-led JDU, to the closing ceremony of the Bharat Jodo Yatra in Srinagar on January 30. Bharat Jodo Yatra Completes 100 Days: Live Musical Performances To Mark 100th Day of Rahul Gandhi-Led Yatra (See Pics and Video).

However, JDU national president Rajiv Ranjan Singh (Lalan Singh) wrote to Congress national president Mallikarjun Kharge saying the party won’t be part of the closing ceremoney of the yatra owing to its ‘busy’ political schedule.

The yatra, which started in Kanyakumari on September 7, will conclude on January 30 in Srinagar after covering 3,970 km, 12 states and two Union territories.
