Bharat Jodo Yatra entered the national capital on December 24. The rally entered southeast Delhi's Badarpur from Faridabad in Haryana.

Several Bollywood stars including Pooja Bhatt, Riteish Deshmukh, Swara Bhaskar and Riya Sen have already participated in the yatra.

Apart from Rajasthan, the Bharat Jodo Yatra has covered parts of Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Haryana.

It is the longest march on foot by any Indian politician in the history of the nation, the Congress has claimed. With this Yatra, Rahul Gandhi aims to mobilise the party cadre and unite the general public against the BJP's "divisive politics in the country".
