Mumbai, 5th Nov. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will address two rallies in Maharashtra on November 10 and 18, as part of his ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra,’ which will arrive in the state on Monday, according to a senior party leader.
The yatra, which began on September 7 in Kanyakumari, is scheduled to arrive at Madnur Naka in Maharashtra’s Nanded district from neighboring Telangana on November 7 at 7 p.m.
“Rahul Gandhi will address two rallies during the yatra in Maharashtra. He will address the first rally on November 10 in Nanded district, while the second one will be held on November 18 at Shegaon in Buldhana district,” senior Congress leader Balasaheb Thorat, who is the state coordinator for the yatra, said.
During its 14-day journey, the Bharat Jodo Yatra, the Congress’ mass contact initiative, will pass through 15 Assembly and 6 parliamentary constituencies in the state. It will travel 382 kilometers through five districts before entering Madhya Pradesh on November 20.
Following its arrival in Nanded on Monday evening, the yatra will resume at 6.30 a.m. the following day from the district’s Deglur bus stand. According to party sources, it will pass through Nanded district for four days before entering Hingoli district on November 11, Washim district on November 15, Akola district on November 16, and Buldhana district on November 18.
Thorat, who recently visited Nanded district to oversee the yatra’s preparations, stated that elaborate plans have been made in the state for it.
Another member of Congress stated, “More than 100 prominent personalities from different walks of life will participate in the yatra.”
Sharad Pawar, president of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), is expected to march on November 9.
The state Congress leadership intends to highlight the NCP’s and the Shiv Sena’s Uddhav Thackeray’s participation in the yatra as a show of solidarity by the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
