Rahul Gandhi to resume Bharat Jodo Yatra from Delhi’s Yamuna Bazar on Jan 3

Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra, which is currently on winter break, will resume from Delhi on January 3 and enter Uttar Pradesh

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will resume his Bharat Jodo Yatra from Hanuman Mandir in the Yamuna Bazar area on January 3, 2023, and head towards Uttar Pradesh's Ghaziabad, the party’s Delhi unit president Anil Chaudhary said on Thursday.

Inspecting the routes with other senior party leaders, Mr. Chaudhary said enough security arrangements should be made when the yatra resumes from Delhi and moves towards Uttar Pradesh.

"We inspected the routes from where the Bharat Jodo Yatra will resume on January 3. Rahul Gandhi along with other leaders will resume the yatra from Hanuman Mandir in the Yamuna Bazar area and head towards Loni in Ghaziabad," Chaudhary said.

The Congress on Wednesday had written to Home Minister Amit Shah, alleging security breaches during the yatra in the city and demanded immediate steps to ensure the security of Gandhi and others taking part in the march.

Dismissing the allegations, the officials said the security arrangements made for the protectee works fine when the protectee himself adheres to the laid down security guidelines.

However, they alleged that on several occasions, violations of laid down guidelines on the part of Rahul Gandhi have been observed and this fact has been communicated to him from time to time.

Mr. Chaudhary alleged that there were loopholes in the security from Badarpur border itself and that the situation deteriorated at the Red Fort.
