The Bharat Jodo Yatra, a massive 136-day march, was undertaken by the Indian National Congress from September 7, 2022, to January 30, 2023. The yatra aimed to unite India against divisive politics, highlight pressing issues, and promote values of equality, justice, and freedom.

Background

India has witnessed growing social, economic, and political divisions in recent years. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led government's policies have exacerbated these divisions, leading to widespread discontent. The Congress party recognized the need for a mass movement to counter this trend.

Objectives

The Bharat Jodo Yatra sought to:

1. Unite India: Counter divisive politics and promote unity and inclusiveness.

2. Highlight key issues: Focus on unemployment, inflation, social injustice, and economic inequality.

3. Promote core values: Emphasize equality, justice, freedom, and social harmony.
