Kanyakumari To Kashmir - Rahul Gandhi To Launch Big Congress March Today

Chennai: With an eye on the 2024 general election, Congress MP Rahul Gandhi will launch the party's 'Bharat Jodo Yatra' from Kanyakumari today. The 3,500 kilometre-long-yatra will be covered in nearly 150 days.

1. Rahul Gandhi started his day with a visit to his father Rajiv Gandhi's memorial in Tamil Nadu's Sriperumbudur, where the former Prime Minister was killed in a suicide attack on May 21, 1991.

2. After visiting his father's memorial, Rahul Gandhi tweeted, "I lost my father to the politics of hate and division. I will not lose my beloved country to it too. Love will conquer hate. Hope will defeat fear. Together, we will overcome."

3. Alleging social polarisation and political centralisation under the BJP rule, Mr Gandhi had earlier said that the 'Bharat Jodo Yatra' is like a 'tapasya' to him to unite the country.

4. Mr Gandhi will attend an event at Kanyakumari's Mahatma Gandhi Mandapam in the evening where Chief Minister MK Stalin will hand over the national flag to him for the yatra launch.
