The yatra will conclude in Mumbai on March 20 after a span of 67 days.

A follow-up to the ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ which saw Rahul Gandhi cover more than 3,000 kilometres on foot – from Kanya Kumari to Srinagar, the latest campaign, Bharat Jodo Yatra 2.0, is expected to involve extensive bus rides by the Congress leader.
