Rahul Gandhi's Nyay Yatra to enter Maharashtra on Mar 10

Mumbai: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi-led Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra will arrive in Maharashtra's Nandurbar district from Gujarat on March 10, local party officials announced Friday.

The yatra would take Gandhi from Nandurbar to Dhule, Malegaon, and Nashik, where he would pray at the famous Kalaram temple dedicated to Lord Ram and Trimbakeshwar temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, according to reports.

The former Congress president will then address a rally at Bhiwandi in Thane district and the yatra will then proceed to Mumbai for the concluding public rally, which is likely to be held on March 13 or 14, the functionaries added.

The party earlier announced that the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra would be on a break from February 26 to March 1 to enable Rahul Gandhi to deliver two special lectures at his alma mater, Cambridge University, and attend important meetings in New Delhi.

It will resume on March 2 from Rajasthan's Dholpur and enter Madhya Pradesh on the same day.

The east-to-west Manipur-Mumbai yatra is scheduled to traverse 6,700 kilometres through 15 states. It aims at highlighting the message of "nyay (justice)" while meeting common people on the way.
