Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is taking a short break from his ongoing Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra to attend important meetings in Delhi and deliver lectures at his alma mater, Cambridge University. However, before resuming the march on March 2nd, Gandhi will make a significant stop at the Mahakaleshwar temple in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, on March 5th.
This marks Gandhi’s second visit to the temple during the Yatra, which aims to cover 6,700 kilometers across 15 states in the lead-up to the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. Interestingly, the Yatra will also see a boost with the addition of Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, who will join her brother in Moradabad on Saturday.
The five-day break offers a glimpse into the multi-faceted nature of the Yatra, which balances political campaigning with personal commitments and a focus on religious inclusivity. While Gandhi addresses key issues in Delhi, his visit to the Mahakaleshwar temple strengthens the Yatra’s message of national unity and cultural understanding.
