The Yatra is expected to cross Uttar Pradesh over a span of three days before re-entering Haryana on January 6. Bharat Jodo Yatra entered Uttar Pradesh from Delhi via Loni. A large number of people were present along the way to welcome the yatra. Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi will accompany Rahul Gandhi throughout the UP leg of the Yatra.
Yatra will cover the stretch from Loni in UP to Ghaziabad. It will take a halt at Baghpat tonight. The UP Police has issued guidelines ahead of the Yatra entering the state. “The yatra will reach from Loni to Baghpat and the common people should not have any problem in communication,” said the Police officials.
Congress leaders Alka Lamba, Spokesperson Shama Mohamed and MP Jothimani were seen in today’s Delhi leg of Yatra. Shama Mohamed said to ANI, “Congress has sent the invitation to the leaders of the Opposition. Some people could not make it. But they have extended their wishes. That’s a positive message.”
Alka Lamba said to ANI, “We want to ask the Delhi government and the BJP government at the centre. What has been done for the security of women? One decade has passed since 2012. Still, incidents like Kanjhawala happened. The issue of women’s security is also getting prominence from the Yatra.” Bharat Jodo Yatra: Priyanka Gandhi To Join Rahul Gandhi’s Yatra in Uttar Pradesh.
