The Congress Party had said that the initial Bharat Jodo Yatra brought attention to economic disparity, societal division, and an autocratic approach to governance.
In contrast, the upcoming Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra would prioritize the pursuit of social, economic, and political justice for the nation's citizens.
[11] This campaign will have Rahul Gandhi utilizing a bus for transportation, while also engaging in short walks for certain distances which would cover 14 states and 85 districts.
Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge will inaugurate this political campaign, aiming to encompass a significant number of states that were previously not included in the Bharat Jodo Yatra conducted earlier.
This is set to be achieved by addressing the issue of caste census and advocating for the Other Backward Classes (OBCs) to receive their fair and equitable share in the country's development.
These two factors were highlighted by Rahul Gandhi as the primary causes for the two young individuals trespassing the Parliament security and leaping into the Lok Sabha chamber from the visitors' gallery.
Party president Kharge criticised prime minister Modi, whom he accused of using the Ram temple inauguration for electoral gains.
[22][23] Assam Congress president Bhupen Kumar Borah and party MLA Jakir Hussain Sikdar sustained minor injuries in clashes with police.
[24] Academic and social activist Hiren Gohain condemned the "brazen violence" unleashed by police on yatra marchers.
He also said that the BJP wanted to topple the alliance government in Jharkhand as the chief minister was a tribal, referring to Hemant Soren's arrest and resignation as CM.
[33] The yatra, which was scheduled to enter Balrampur and then traverse its second leg in Jharkhand on 14 February, was cancelled so that Gandhi could attend farmers' protests in Delhi.
[34][35] On 15 February, Gandhi resumed his yatra from Bihar's Aurangabad, where he promised a financial survey to assess the ground reality if his party comes to power.
[39] On 19 February, Gandhi reached his former constituency Amethi by entering the village Kohra, where a large number of people attended the rally.
[40][41] On 20 February, in the Congress bastion of Rae Bareli, Gandhi attacked the central government over the Agnipath Scheme, alleging that Agniveers were being denied the status of martyrs.
[42] The next day in Lucknow, Gandhi targeted PM Modi over the police recruitment exam paper leak in Uttar Pradesh, saying that youngsters were being misleaded by the BJP.
He also said that the caste census is an X-ray for India, and alleged that president Droupadi Murmu was not allowed to enter the Ram temple as she was from the Adivasi community.
[48] The yatra entered Jhalod, Gujarat on 7 March, where Gandhi criticised prime minister Modi for "waiving off ₹16 lakh crore loans" of corporate businessmen.
[59] Several political analysts including Prashant Kishor criticized the timing of Yatra in view of upcoming general elections and stated that while its a good PR exercise it won't be able to benefit the congress electorally.
