Bengaluru, Oct 6: Congress President Sonia Gandhi on Thursday joined the Rahul Gandhi-led Bharat Jodo Yatra in the Mandya district of Karnataka. The party workers and leaders were looking forward to the top leader’s participation, seeing it as a morale booster for the workers which will improve the party’s prospects in the state.
Bharat Jodo Yatra resumed from Mandya district after the break of two days in view of the Vijayadashami and Dussehra festivals. Former opposition leader of Rajyasabha Mallikarjun Kharge is also expected to join Bharat Jodi Yatra.
Sonia Gandhi will be joining the padayatra briefly between Pandavapura and Nagamangala towns. She had arrived in Mysuru on Monday and had put up in a resort near the backwaters of Kabini. The Yatra in Karnataka has been successful in getting good response prompting the ruling BJP to plan a series of tours and conventions across the state to counter the padayatra.
