New Delhi, Sep 5 (IANS): Congress' 'Bharat Jodo Yatra' starting from September 7 will be under the national flag and three chief ministers -- Tamil Nadu's M.K. Stalin, Chhattisgarh's Bhupesh Baghel and Rajasthan's Ashok Gehlot -- will hand over the national flag to Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday.

The purpose behind the march with the national flag is that the Congress wants other like-minded parties and civil society groups to join the programme, said a Congress leader.

On the proposed march, Rahul Gandhi on Sunday said that the opposition has no way but to go to the people of the country.

Prior to the Congress' 'Bharat Jodo Yatra', Rahul Gandhi will visit the Rajiv Gandhi memorial at Sriperumbudur in Tamil Nadu on September 7.

The Gandhi scion will be visiting the place for the first time where his father and the country's former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi was assassinated in 1991.

Gandhi will visit Vivekananda Rock Memorial, Thiruvalluvar Memorial and Kamaraj memorial. All-religion prayer will be conducted at Gandhi Mandapam at Kanyakumari where Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin will hand over the Tricolour to the Wayanad MP. All the leaders will then walk to the meeting venue at the nearby Gandhi Mandapam.

The meeting will be held at 5 p.m. from where an official announcement of the launch of the yatra will be made.

On September 8, the padyatra (foot march) will start from Vivekananda Institute at 7 a.m. and will continue for three hours. It will resume at 3.30 p.m. the same day and continue till 6.30 p.m. Everyday, the yatra will cover 21 km.

The yatra will reach Kerala on September 11 and will continue there for 18 days before reaching Karnataka on September 30. The yatra will continue in Karnataka for 21 days..

The Congress claimed that the padyatra was aimed at eliminating hatred.

The yatra passing through 12 states will cover 3,500 km from Kanyakumari to Jammu and Kashmir in five months (150 days) and 118 leaders will participate in it. The tentative list of leaders who will participate in the yatra include Congress Youth leader Kanhaiya Kumar, Pawan Khera and former Punjab Minister Vijay Inder Singla.

    In my veiw, Shashi Tharoor (ST) should have been present at least in most of the states if not all the states. The fact ST is contesting for Congress president, its better to launch him on a Pan India scale. Congress would not have a better chance than this one.

    We have to wait and see how long will it take to complete? or will it ever? Who wil give up in the midst? Who will disappear and reappear in the end? Will it serve its purpose? There are too many opposition parties who have realized that they can win and rule.

    Any front against BJP is most welcome. Arvind has launched himself as PM candidate; RaGa is always there waiting to be the next PM and now Nitish-KCR or Mamata will be in the ring soon. Sharad Pawar is also available despite his age but he is waiting for a sponsor like KCR. Modi will have at least something to talk and campaign against! If ED raids are bringing opposition leaders together. then Modi must do it more often so that we will have some spirited fight by them to save themselves and send Modi home. The only way to save oneself from ED is to become PM of the country- what have we come to???????????????????
