Rahul Gandhi-led Bharat Jodo Yatra Concludes Amid Snowfall in Kashmir
Srinagar: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi-led Bharat Jodo Yatra from Kanyakumari to Kashmir concluded with a mega rally during a heavy snowfall on Monday. The Congress leaders’ 145-day foot march covered nearly 4,000 km during the country-wide yatra.
As part of the closing ceremony of the yatra, Rahul Gandhi hoisted the national flag at the party's office in Jammu and Kashmir’s Srinagar. The event saw attendance from regional heavyweights like National Conference patron Farooq Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti.
On this occasion, the Congress party held a mega rally at Sher-i-Kashmir Cricket Stadium. The foot march came to an end with the flag-hoisting at Srinagar’s famed Lal Chowk on Sunday.
“I have not done this (yatra) for myself or for the Congress, but for the people of the country. Our aim is to stand against the ideology that wants to destroy the foundation of this country,” Rahul Gandhi told the gathering at the culmination rally.
