While most others were seen covered up amid heavy snowfall, Rahul Gandhi sported his signature white T-shirt and a sleeveless jacket. He captioned the video, “Sheen Mubarak! A beautiful last morning at the #BharatJodoYatra campsite, in Srinagar.” Priyanka had joined the Congress MP in Kashmir on Saturday during the last leg of the Bharat Jodo Yatra.
Closing ceremony of Yatra
The 4,080 km Bharat Jodo Yatra on Monday closed at the Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) headquarters in Srinagar. Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge, and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra were present at the hoisting of the national flag. This was followed by a rally led by Rahul Gandhi at the Sher-e-Kashmir Stadium. Several opposition leaders – including from the DMK, National Conference, PDP, CPI, RSP, and IUML – joined the Congress leaders to mark the culmination of the Yatra.
The yatra began on September 7 from Kanyakumari in Tamil Nadu and covered 12 states and union territories – Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab, and concluded in Jammu and Kashmir.
