Ahead of its planned ‘Bharat Nyay Yatra’ on January 14, the Congress has called a meeting of its General Secretaries, State Incharges, state unit presidents and Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leaders on Thursday (January 4, 2024), news agency ANI reported.
The meeting presided over by party president Mallikarjun Kharge will not only finalise the route of the ‘Bharat Nyay Yatra’ but also contemplate the preparations for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections during the meeting, the news agency reported citing party functionaries.

Meanwhile, Gaurav Gogoi, Congress MP from Kaliabor constituency in Assam and Deputy Leader of the party in the Lok Sabha has said the people of North East are very excited about the Bharat Nyay Yatra.
“People are excited because when Bharat Jodo Yatra was taking place, Rahul Gandhi could not come to Uttar Purvanchal, we had told that time that people over there don’t have to be disheartened. Rahul Gandhi will come to Uttar Purvanchal because of the love he has for the people of Uttar Purvanchal,” Gogoi said.
