Former RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan joins Congress' Bharat Jodo Yatra

The former governor of Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Raghuram Rajan on Wednesday joined Congress-led Bharat Jodo Yatra.

A picture of Rajan walking with Congress leader Rahul Gandhi was shared by INC on its official twitter handle on Wednesday.

Rajan is well-known for fearlessly speaking against the government and its faulty policies, from the economy to banking reforms.



The yatra started from Kanyakumari on September 7 and has so far covered Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Telangana, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh. It will conclude in Jammu and Kashmir in early February 2023.

The Bharat Jodo Yatra will complete 100 days on December 16.

New Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu and Congress MLAs from the state had also joined the yatra on Friday.

Congress' Bharat Jodo Yatra resumed in Rajasthan on Tuesday with party leaders and Gandhi siblings Rahul and Priyanka taking the lead.

Rajasthan is the only Congress-ruled state the yatra has entered and will cover about 500 km over 17 days before entering Haryana on December 21.
