He said the 1,200-km-long march against the “communal agenda of the BJP” would start from Banka district and end in Bodh Gaya.
Senior party leader Jairam Ramesh said here on Sunday that the Congress is going to start a state-wide padyatra in Bihar from December 28 on the lines of ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’.
He said the 1,200-km long march against the “communal agenda of the BJP” would start from Banka district and end at Bodh Gaya. It will cover 17 districts of the state.
However, Rahul Gandhi is unlikely to participate in the state-wide padyatra in Bihar.
“Bharat Jodo Yatra has destabilized the BJP, which has resorted to cheap and childish diversionary tactics. The top rung of the saffron party, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is worried about Rahul Gandhi’s padayatra,” Ramesh said at a press conference along with party colleague Digvijaya Singh.
Singh said that all senior Congress leaders, ministers and MLAs in Bihar will take part in the state-wide padyatra.
A senior Congress leader in Bihar said Rahul Gandhi Will visit the state during the second phase of the proposed East-West ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’.
Rahul Gandhi started ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ in Kanyakumari, Tamil Nadu on 7th September. He is set to cover a distance of about 3,500 km in 12 states in 150 days. PTI PKD ACD ACD
