The Bharat Jodo Yatra marked its third anniversary and has been hailed by the Congress as a pivotal event in Indian politics. Launched at Kanyakumari, the march aimed to draw attention to critical issues like economic inequality, social polarization, and political authoritarianism, according to Congress leader Jairam Ramesh.
