Rahul Gandhi Yatra Bharat Jodo : -

After defeating 3 important States, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan with competent margins and before couple of months Lok Sabha electrons, Rahul Gandhi will start his Manipur to Mumbai Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra from " Thoubal near Imphal on Sunday".

According to spokesman of Congress told it is not a poll Yatra, the main focus of party is heavily on the Hindi belts, while passing the Yatra in constituencies of Lok Sabha electrons. 

Yatra will cover about 100 Lok Sabha seats the list of Yatra is shared by " The Indian Express " as many as 58 seats are in the Hindi - Speaking States such as Uttar Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Bihar and Rajasthan in UP alone, the Yatra will go through 28 Lok Sabha segments, among them PM Narendra Modi's Varanasi Constituency, Rae Bareli, Amethi, Allahabad, Phulpur and Lucknow. 

The Yatra will largely avoid the strongholds of the key INDIA ( SP) - including Kannauj, Azamgarh, Etawah, Mainpuri and Firozabad even though it will still cross the DP belts like Rampur, Sambhal and Badaun - the reason that Congress feels the Akhilesh Yadav led party is strong enough to challenge the BJP in its region of elections. 

Yatra will travel the maximum number of days - 11 -  in UP -  the 80 seats Congress could not defeat BJP in the last 2 Lok Sabha seats in elections. 

While in many states Yatra will focus on that seats where Congress Party knows has some strength. In Maharashtra the Yatra will cover the strongholds of both party and Iddhav Thackery led Shiv Sena faction, hoping that the partners cam make an important impact in the Polls together. 

According to Congress told the biggest test of this Yatra  will be participation of INDIA sllies in 5 states, when it will pass through West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand, UP and Maharashtra will finish the Yatra in Mumbai in the 3 rd week of March. The Congress Party is not clear so far as TMC  supremo and West Bengal CM Mamta Banerjee would participate the Yatra at some point when it passess through her states. 

The Yatra will connect 10 Lol Sabha seats in West Bengal while there is dispute between seats sharing Congress with TMC. TMCis givingonly 2 seats in Bengal like Malda Dakshin and Baharampur. 

Yatra will travel in 10 seats in Maharashtra will end in Mumbai. 

The Congress party main focus in Scheduled Castrs ( SCs) and Scheduled Tribes ( STs) seats too. 

However Yatra will pass through 30 reserved seats - including 13 SC and 17 ST seats - accross many states. 

In evening before Yatra, Congress told that it is a Yatr"ideological Yatra" and not an electroal one. 

This Yatra, which will travel 6713 KM mostly by Buses but also on foot, with covering 15 States, 110Districts, 337 Assembly segments and 100 Lok Sabha seats in 67 Days will flagged off from a private ground of Manipur's in Thoubal District, instead of Imphal, this is Congress party initial choice. Before starting the " Bharat Jodo " Yatra, Rahul Gandhi will pay homage to the Martyrs at the Khongiom was memorial, to built in memory of martyrs of the last Anglo - Manipur War that took place in 1891 year.
