New Delhi: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has begun the 'Bharat Jodo Yatra' from Tamil Nadu's Kanyakumari on September 7. According to reports, he will cover the 3,570 km journey in about 150 days from Kanyakumari to Kashmir. This has been viewed as a strategy by Congress to compete with the BJP in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. 

Rahul Gandhi will be staying in a container for the next 150 days. The containers will have sleeping beds and a few will have air conditioners as well. Since the temperatures will be different in each part of the country, the living arrangements have been organized accordingly. Full-time Yatris who stay with Rahul Gandhi will eat together and stay close," said the sources.

The sources further said that Rahul Gandhi considers the Bharat Jodo Yatra journey as a way to connect with the common people." So he wants to complete this entire journey in a simple way away from the glitz and glamour. Rahul Gandhi calls it a journey but political analysts consider it a preparation for 2024," the sources added.
