Agra Yatra’s Significance for Akhilesh Yadav in Points
The head of the Samajwadi Party, Akhilesh Yadav, is expected to accompany senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on the ‘Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra’ in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, on Sunday afternoon, February 25. This cooperative action highlights the unity of the state’s opposition forces and comes after their various parties recently reached an agreement.

This is what we currently know:

The Congress has committed to contesting in 17 Uttar Pradesh constituencies in accordance with the seat-sharing arrangement, while the SP will run for 63 seats.
The parliamentary seats of Mathura and Fatehpur Sikri will be contested by the Congress, while the SP will fight for the seats in the Agra Division, Mainpuri, Firozabad, Aligarh, Hathras, and Etah; these are the constituencies that the ‘Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra’ will pass through on Sunday.
Akhilesh Yadav’s decision to participate in the Congress’s “Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra” is seen as important in the political scene as it demonstrates the opposition parties’ unity before the Lok Sabha elections.

This cooperation between the two groups is reminiscent of an event that occurred seven years before in Agra on February 3, 2017, when Rahul Gandhi and Akhilesh Yadav took part in a 12-kilometer roadshow.
The ‘Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra’ started on Sunday from Jamalpur in Aligarh and is slated to arrive at Gandhi Tiraha in Hathras by midday. Rahul Gandhi will be accompanied by Congresswoman Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.

Rahul Gandhi stressed the need to solve injustices suffered by the underprivileged, farmers, youth, and women at an event in Aligarh on Sunday morning. He said that the yatra strives to solve these concerns.

The yatra will travel 6,713 kilometers, pass through 110 districts, 100 Lok Sabha seats, 337 assembly segments, and Gujarat. After Uttar Pradesh, it will go to Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Maharashtra before coming to an end in Mumbai on March 20, having taken 67 days.
