Congress launches 70-day Bharat Jodo yatra in Assam

Inspired by Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra from Kanyakumari to Kashmir, the Congress on Tuesday launched a yatra in Assam from the border town of Golakganj in Dhubri district near the Bangladesh border to the easternmost tip in Sadiya bordering Arunachal Pradesh.

The foot-march will cover 834 km in 13 districts across the Brahmaputra Valley in 70 days.

Congress national general secretary-cum-in charge of Assam unit Jitendra Singh, APCC president Bhupen Kumar Borah, Lok Sabha MP Pradyut Bordoloi, and other senior leaders of the state unit were present.
