"It Will Depend On...": Congress On Sharad Pawar Joining Bharat Jodo Yatra

The Congress had invited NCP president Mr Pawar, 81, to participate in the foot march and the latter earlier said he would join the yatra.

Senior Congress leader Ashok Chavan has said the participation of Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar in the 'Bharat Jodo Yatra' in Maharashtra will depend on his health condition.

The 'Bharat Jodo Yatra', a mass outreach initiative of the Congress which began on September 7 from Kanyakumari, is scheduled to enter Maharashtra's Nanded district on Monday night from neighbouring Telangana.

The Congress had invited NCP president Mr Pawar, 81, to participate in the foot march and the latter earlier said he would join the yatra.

Mr Pawar was recently hospitalised in Mumbai for fever and other health issues. The NCP chief on Saturday flew to Shirdi from Mumbai with doctors and addressed the party convention briefly.
