Detailing out the tentative route, Ramesh said, “The 2023 yatra may begin from Porbandar in Gujarat and end in Parshuram Kund in Arunachal Pradesh.”
New Delhi: Amid the Congress’s Bharat Jodo Yatra led by Rahul Gandhi, the Grand Old Party on Thursday said it may launch a separate yatra, a West to East yatra from Gujarat to Arunachal Pradesh, next year. The current yatra is being spearheaded by senior leader Rahul Gandhi from Kanyakumari to Kashmir.
Congress claimed that the new image of the party will transform the Indian politics and strengthen the party’s organisation. Speaking to the media in Kerala’s Kollam, All India Congress Committee’s general secretary in charge of communication, Jairam Ramesh said, “Next year, we may have an East to West yatra.”
Detailing out the tentative route, Ramesh said, “The 2023 yatra may begin from Porbandar in Gujarat and end in Parshuram Kund in Arunachal Pradesh.” He added that only through such mass contact programmes can a transformation of the Indian politics be brought.

He further said, “I believe that the Bharat Jodo Yatra will transform the Indian politics and strengthen the Congress party’s organisation. The BJP has been engaging in Bharat todo for a long time and now, the way it is attacking our yatra every day, it seems they are engaging in Congress todo.”
He alleged that the political turnout in Goa is an example of the diversion that the BJP wants to create.
Earlier on September 10, a war of words intensified between the BJP and the Congress after a video in which controversial Pastor George Ponnaiah can be heard telling Rahul Gandhi that “Jesus is a real God… unlike Shakti” went viral. BJP leaders launched a scathing attack on Rahul Gandhi while the top brass of Congress came in defence of their leader.
