Rajasthan: On Friday, 16 December 2022, The Bharat Jodo Yatra's biggest achievement is that it highlighted major issues of the common people, senior Congress leader K C Venugopal said as the Rahul Gandhi Bharat Jodo Yatra completed 100 days on the road.

Mr. Rahul Gandhi, Mr. Venugopal, former Rajasthan deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot and other senior leaders of the party began the morning leg of the yatra from the Meena HC there.

"Bharat Jodo Yatra's biggest achievement is that issues of the common people of the country have been highlighted through it," Mr. Venugopal told news agency PTI while walking in the Bharat Jodo Yatra.

"The BJP's attempt to demolish Rahul Gandhi’s image has also been destroyed by us," he added.

The Congress general secretary (organisation) also stressed that the message of the yatra will be spread through a follow-up campaign to be undertaken by the party from January 26.

The yatra, which was launched on September 7 in Kanyakumari has traversed eight states - Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and now, Rajasthan.

With over 2,800 kilometres under his belt, Mr. Gandhi has managed to catch the attention of his supporters as well as detractors.

Controversies have also been part of the yatra, with the Congress and the BJP trading barbs on a number of occasions.

On December 24, the yatra will enter Delhi, and after a break of about eight days, move on to Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab and finally to Jammu and Kashmir.
