Bharat Jodo Yatra (lit: Unite India March) is an ongoing mass movement started by the Indian National Congress.[1] Rahul Gandhi, the leader of the Congress, is orchestrating the movement by mobilising the party cadre and general public into walking by foot from Kanyakumari, the southern tip of the peninsula, to the union territory of Jammu and Kashmir, spanning 3,570 kilometres over 150 days.[2]

The Congress said that they started this movement to unite the country against the alleged "divisive politics"[3] of the Bharatiya Janata Party-led central government at New Delhi. Launched by Gandhi and Tamil Nadu chief minister M. K. Stalin[4] on September 7, 2022,[5] its main objective is to fight against the politics of "fear, bigotry and prejudice" and the economics of livelihood destruction, increasing unemployment and growing inequalities.[5] The presidential election of the party was held during the movement. The party also formed a government on its own for the first time in 4 years during the movement.

Background

Flag of the Bharat Jodo Yatra, used during the rally.

The Congress party launched the logo, tagline, and website for Bharat Jodo Yatra at AICC headquarters on 23 August 2022. The march started from Kanyakumari on 7 September.[6] It will be a 3,570-kilometre long, 150-day 'non-stop' march that will cover 12 states and two Union Territories from across the country in which Gandhi will meet people during the day and will sleep in makeshift accommodation in the night.[7] These makeshift accommodations were mobile containers specially built by the Tata Corporation. Rahul Gandhi had an air-conditioned container all to himself, while the remaining containers were shared accommodations for the other yatris, some of which did not even have fans in them.[8] It started from Kanyakumari and will end in Srinagar and will be done entirely by walking on foot.[1][9] Yatris are scheduled to cover a total of approx. 23 kilometres everyday in 2 shifts.[10] The march has as of December 2022 covered more than 3,000 kilometres.[11] There are several parallels between the Congress's 'Bharat Jodo Yatra' and ex-prime minister of India Chandra Shekhar's nearly 4,260 kilometres-long Bharat Yatra in 1983.[12][13][14]

Participants

Throughout the 5-month yatra, there will be three different types of Padyatris. Bharat Yatris will be the first to complete the journey on foot. Atithi Yatris from the states that the Bharat Jodo Yatra is not travelling through will be the second group. The third will be the Pradesh Yatris, those 100 yatris that the state is travelling through, so 300 padyatris will be moving forward at a given moment.

Supporters

Many grassroots movements have been joining or endorsing the Bharat Jodo Yatra. The Congress has also appealed to citizens, organizations, and movements to join the Yatra.[25] More than 200 civil society members have appealed people to support Congress' Bharat Jodo Yatra.[26] The Indian National Congress has extended an invitation to Bihar chief minister and deputy chief minister Nitish Kumar and Tejashwi Yadav to join the yatra respectively.[27]

As the march was set to enter Karnataka in late September, at least 89 organizations based in the state announced their support for and participation in it.

Reactions

National

  • The Bharatiya Janata Party criticized the rally and called it "Parivar Bachao Rally" (Save Family March).[126] These remarks came at a time when the Congress was preparing to hold its presidential election.[127] On 18 September, BJP Tamil Nadu president C.T. Ravi posted a picture of Rahul Gandhi and his niece on Twitter with malicious intent, this led to Ravi deleting the tweet after public outrage and a case was filed against him.[128] The Congress replied saying that the BJP was "rattled" by the yatra and its immense public support.[129]
  • The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam wholeheartedly supported the Yatra, with M.K. Stalin being present to launch the Yatra at Kanyakumari on September 7.[130]
  • The Nationalist Congress Party initially distanced itself from the yatra, with its leader P. C. Chacko saying that "Cong's yatra aimed to prove it is not dead".[131] However, NCP chief Sharad Pawar backtracked on his party's remarks, dubbing the yatra "immensely useful" for the Congress and Rahul Gandhi.[132] Senior NCP leaders such as Jayant Patil, Supriya Sule, and Jitendra Awhad joined the Bharat Jodo Yatra upon its entrance in the state of Maharashtra.[133]
  • The Shiv Sena (UBT) through its mouthpiece Saamana supported the Yatra and took a dig at the BJP, accusing it of being scared of the Congress' Yatra.[134] Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut stated that Rahul Gandhi is one person who keeps friendship and affection alive despite political differences. Raut attributed the tremendous response received by Bharat Jodo Yatra to love and compassion.[135]
  • The Aam Aadmi Party brushed-off the yatra, saying it is of "no consequence".[136]
  • The Communist Party of India (Marxist) initially criticized the Congress in a Twitter post for that read "18 days in Kerala...2 days in UP. Strange way to fight BJP-RSS", referring to the amount of days the yatra spent in each state. The Congress justified the decision saying Kerala is a long south-to-north state, "It takes 370 kilometres from Kanyakumari to go through Kerala and reach Karnataka. If it took two days of rest days, it would take 18 days to cover that distance".[137][138] The CPI(M) soon softened its stance on the yatra, with its general secretary Sitaram Yechury saying "Every party has the legitimate right to interact with the populace. Going to people is good". He also said that the CPI(M) would join efforts to bring together the opposition parties to defend the constitution.[139][140]
  • Yogendra Yadav of Swaraj India joined Bharat Jodo Yatra and described the Yatra as a Dakshinayana movement of India, where the influences of the South are carried to the North.[141][142]
  • The Hindu-nationalist organisation Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh's chief Mohan Bhagawat reached out to minorities in the country, shortly after the start of the yatra. This sudden outreach was seen by the Congress party as an effect and success of the yatra.[143]
  • Acharya Satyendra Das, the chief priest of Ram Temple in Ayodhya, extended his wishes to Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Yatra . Senior Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) leader and the Ram Temple trust's general secretary,Champat Rai appreciated Rahul Gandhi for his efforts. He stated that a fifty year 'young' man was walking [144]in the chilling weather to know India. He added that he was the leader of Rashtria Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and no one in the Sangh had ever criticized the yatra.

International

  • In September 2022, Hollywood actor John Cusack extended his support to Bharat Jodo Yatra and said he stands in solidarity with "anti-fascists everywhere".[145]

Controversies

The Bharat Jodo Yatra has been criticized for not passing through the poll-bound states of Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh. Congress leader Jairam Ramesh defended the decision, stating that the reason behind it was that it would take 90–95 days to reach Gujarat, starting from Kanyakumari, "It would be impossible to reach before the elections, same with Himachal Pradesh". He also added that in the states where the Yatra would not be able to pass, he and another senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh, along with many others will visit them.[138]

In Kollam, 3 Congress workers demanded a donation of Rs 2000 from a street vendor, to which he gave Rs 500. The workers then damaged the vendor's weighing machine and vegetables. The workers were immediately suspended from the Congress party after the ruckus.[146] Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee chief K. Sudhakaran expressed regret over the incident, calling it "unacceptable" and "inexcusable".[147]

Fake news

Many fake news and allegations have been spread on the yatra,[148] some of them are listed below:

On 23 September, the Congress paused the yatra at Thrissur for a rest day, which was apparently the day when the Popular Front of India (PFI), an Islamist organisation gave a "bandh" call in Kerala, in response to the National Investigation Agency (NIA)'s raids on it the day before. BJP leader Kapil Mishra linked this pause of the yatra to the bandh and alleged that the Congress was in solidarity with the PFI. The Congress hit back, saying that the pause was pre-scheduled and completely unrelated to the PFI.[149] Rahul Gandhi also said that there should be zero tolerance towards all forms of communalism, in response to a journalist asking him about his comments on the raid on the PFI.[150]

A factually incorrect tweet started circulating by BJP leaders on around 23 September which alleged the girl who hugged Rahul Gandhi in a picture from the yatra was the same girl who raised the slogan "Pakistan Zindabad" at an anti-CAA rally led by AIMIM in Bengaluru, this turned out to be false.[151] On 25 September, the Indian National Congress initiated legal action against BJP leader Priti Gandhi for allegedly spreading "fake and divisive news" on the yatra.[152]

On 7 December, Congress handles on Twitter falsely started circulating images of a crowd organized at the Jai Gurudev Ashram in Mathura passing them off as turnout at the Bharat Jodo Yatra.[153]

Resistance

The Congress and the BJP got into an argument after hoardings welcoming Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Yatra were ripped down in Gundlupet, Karnataka, on September 29, 2022.[154] On the Congress Bharat Jodo Yatra track, there was a poster with Savarkar on it. Congress attributed the problem on "miscreants". Savarkar's image was previously seen on a Bharat Jodo Yatra poster in Kerala.[155]

Protests

In the midst of the Karnataka leg of the yatra, the Congress ran into a few problems. Following the appearance of Rahul Gandhi's image on the Karnataka flag, pro-Kannada have protested against the same, and warned the Congress not to use Gandhi's image on the flag.[156][157]

Farmers protested during the Rajasthan leg of Yatra complaining against Congress govt of Rajasthan for failing to deliver on Rahul Gandhi's promise of farm loan waiver during election campaign. They also complained about water scarcity.[158]

Petitions in High Court

Division Bench of the Kerala High Court dismissed a public interest lawsuit that sought to control the Rahul Gandhi-led Bharat Jodo Yatra, which the petitioner said was impeding both vehicular and pedestrian traffic on public streets.[159][160]

Impact

Rahul Gandhi reopened a road that had been closed in 1993 due to caste-based violence on the fourth day of the Bharat Jodo Yatra. In Badanavalu, a route called "Bharat Jodo Road" connects Lingayat settlements with Dalit dwellings.[161] According to officials, Rajasthan's Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Thursday, October 7, 2022 officially opened a 2.8-kilometer elevated road in Jaipur. According to them, the chief minister renamed the route, which was formerly known as Sodala elevated road, to "Bharat Jodo Setu".[162]

Other planned yatras

The Indian National Congress, inspired by the success of the current yatra, started or planned separate, but related yatras in other states. They are listed below:[163]

The Indian National Congress said that it planned to do a second phase of the yatra from west-to-east next year, from Gujarat to Arunachal Pradesh.[164][165][166] Congress plans to take out another march next year from Porbandar in Gujarat to Parshuram Kund in Arunachal Pradesh.[167][168]

On 22 September, the Congress started a similar yatra in Gujarat which they called "Yuva Parivartan Yatra" (Youth for Change Yatra) in Gujarat from Ambaji, which will be going through several towns and cities. It included many GPCC and Gujarat Youth Congress leaders. It will pass 27 districts. It will be held in two stages from Ambaji to Umargam and Somanth to Suigam. The yatra will travel more than 2100 kilometres across the state.[169]

On November 1, the Congress started an Assam version of the yatra from Dhubri to Sadiya. The yatra will cover around 850 kilometres across the state.[170] It also did the same in Odisha, where the state version of the yatra will cover 2,400 kms for 100 days,[170] starting from 31 October, as a show of strength for the Congress. The rally will start from Bhubaneswar and will cover cities like Cuttack, Jajpur, Balasore, and many more. Many Congress party state units will also start mass contact programs.[171]

Former chief minister of Karnataka, Siddaramaiah, and KPCC president DK Shivakumar, are organising a new yatra beginning in the first week of December that will visit all 224 assembly constituencies in an effort to maintain the momentum started by the Rahul Gandhi-led Bharat Jodo Yatra until the 2023 Assembly election.[172]

Responses

Basavaraj Bommai, the chief minister of Karnataka, and BJP stalwart BS Yediyurappa launched a "Jana Sankalpa Yatra" on 11 October 2022 which would cover 52 assembly constituencies as a political response to the Congress' "Bharat Jodo Yatra" led by Rahul Gandhi.[173][174]

The BJP started its "Jan Aakrosh Yatra" in Rajasthan on December 1, as a protest against the Ashok Gehlot government in the state. However, turnout for the event was dismal and received low public support and the BJP high command expressed its displeasure with the issue.[175][176]

Though having received invitations from the Congress party, Bahujan Samaj party leader Mayawati and Samajwadi party leader Akhilesh Yadav abstained from participating in the Bharat Jodo Yatra.[177]
