Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra to enter Jharkhand on Friday

The yatra is aimed at the party's electoral engagement across the country and is seen as a strategy for the upcoming national elections.

This political tour is a sequel to the Bharat Jodo Yatra. However unlike last time, the journey will not be entirely on foot and will be undertaken in hybrid mode.

Overall, the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra aims to cover 355 Lok Sabha seats across 6,713 kilometers (4,171 mi), which is about 65% of the total parliamentary seats in the country.

In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the BJP emerged victorious in 236 of these 355 seats, while the Congress party secured only 14 seats.

It was subsequently renamed as Bharat Jodo Nyaya Yatra in relation to the previous Bharat Jodo Yatra.

After entering Jharkhand, the yatra will pass through different parts of the state, including Ranchi, Jamshedpur and Dhanbad.

The Yatra will culminate with a major rally in Mumbai on 20 March 2024.
