Meanwhile, Congress on Tuesday launched the logo, tagline and website of its upcoming Bharat Jodo Yatra. Addressing a press conference, Jairam Ramesh said the yatra (foot march) will cover 3,570 km from Kanyakumari in the South to Kashmir in the North. The yatra that will begin on September 7, will continue for over five months. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will also participate in the yatra, along with top party leaders. Launching the website, Congress urged those wanting to participate in the yatra to register on it. Rahul Gandhi tweeted the tagline of the yatra earlier in the day, "Ek tera kadam, ek mera kadam, mil jaye to jud jaye apna watan (one step yours, one step mine, together they can unite India)." एक तेरा कदम, एक मेरा कदम मिल जाए तो जुड़ जाए अपना वतन आओ साथ मिलकर भारत जोड़ें।#BharatJodoYatra — Rahul Gandhi (@RahulGandhi) August 23, 2022
