Mumbai, Nov 10, 2022: On Thursday, several key National Congress Party (NCP) leaders joined Rahul Gandhi for the Maharashtra leg of Bharat Jodo Yatra.
Rahul Gandhi was joined by state NCP chief Jayant Patil, Baramati MP Supriya Sule and party leader Jitendra Awhad, among others.
Gandhi also addressed a rally in Nanded today late evening wherein several NCP leaders were present.
The Congress and NCP had shared power for a period of 15 years in Maharashtra from 1999-2014. The two parties also served as allies in the Shiv Sena-led Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government which was in power from November 2019 till June 29 this year following which it collapsed due to a revolt within the Shiv Sena.
The Bharat Jodo Yatra, which entered Maharashtra on Monday night, will cover Nanded city, Deglur and Ardhapur areas before proceeding to Hingoli on Friday. The yatra, a mass contact initiative taken by the Congress, will be concluding in Srinagar in January 2023.
