Now we have entered Madhya Pradesh. We will cover a distance of 370 km. We have started the Bharat Jodo Yatra by taking the tricolour in our hands from Kanyakumari and we will host the tricolour in Srinagar and nobody can stop us. ” He further said that the yatra is against hatred, violence and fear being spread in the country.
