NEW DELHI: The Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra will take a break from February 26 to March 1 so that Rahul Gandhi can give two special lectures at his old school, Cambridge University, and attend important meetings in New Delhi, as per Congress spokesperson Jairam Ramesh. Additionally, February 22 and 23 will be rest days for the yatra after its visit to Kanpur on Wednesday.
The yatra will start again on the morning of February 24 from Moradabad in Uttar Pradesh, covering Sambhal, Aligarh, Hathras, and Agra districts before reaching Dholpur in Rajasthan, according to Ramesh.

The Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra is set to resume from Dholpur at 2 pm on March 2, covering Morena, Gwalior, Shivpuri, Guna, Shajapur, Ujjain, and other districts in Madhya Pradesh, according to Congress leader Jairam Ramesh.
Ramesh also announced that at 2 pm on March 5, Rahul Gandhi will visit the Mahakaleshwar temple in Ujjain for “darshan.”
This marks Gandhi’s second visit to the temple during the Bharat Jodo Yatra, with the last one taking place on November 29, 2022.
The Manipur-Mumbai yatra, progressing from east to west and entering Uttar Pradesh last Friday, is designed to cover 6,700 kilometers through 15 states.
The yatra aims to emphasise the message of “nyay” (justice) while engaging with ordinary citizens along the way.
