Venugopal also said as this yatra emerged as the greatest movement in this country, a proper follow-up is needed, and that is why the Congress Steering Committee decided on a "Haath Se Haath Jodo Abhiyan" from January 26 onwards.

This, he said, will be a two months massive campaign at the grassroots level. Two months of continuous padayatra will be there at the block level under the leadership of senior leaders, while state units will assign two leaders for each block to conduct the yatra. The Yatra will be undertaken by the leadership of the Block Congress Committee, but two leaders deputed by the state unit will be there to lead the yatra.

Then, the culmination of this yatra will happen with a massive rally in the state capital, in which Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge or Rahul Gandhi will participate, he said.

There will be a separate women's yatra in the state capitals for one day, led by Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Venugopal added. (KB/IANS)
