Malappuram, 27th Sept. On Tuesday, the Congress’ Bharat Jodo Yatra entered Kerala’s Malappuram district, with hundreds of Congress workers and supporters walking alongside Rahul Gandhi.
After finishing for the day on Monday at Koppam in the Palakkad district, the yatra began today morning from Pulamanthole junction in this state’s northern region.
Gandhi, the Wayanad MP, is expected to meet with farmers later in the day.
“Day 20 sees the entry of #BharatJodoYatra into Malappuram district over a beautifully decorated bridge. It’ll be a 14km walk this morning and in the afternoon @RahulGandhi will interact with farmers from adjoining areas. The weather is cool so far and the surroundings are picturesque,” AICC general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh said in a tweet.
The Congress’ 3,570-kilometer, 150-day foot march began on September 7 in Kanyakumari, Tamil Nadu, and will end in Jammu and Kashmir.
The yatra entered Kerala on September 10 and will travel 450 kilometers through the state, visiting seven districts in 19 days before entering Karnataka on October 1.
