The yatra would begin at a private location in the Thoubal district and travel through 100 Lok Sabha seats spread over 15 states. The district of Thoubal in Manipur's Khongjom is gearing up for the Congress march.News agency ANI earlier claimed that a special IndiGo flight meant to transport Congress officials to Imphal for the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra was delayed at the Delhi Airport.In the meantime, ahead of the Yatra, numerous hoardings and enormous cutouts of Rahul Gandhi were placed on the streets. Gandhi's Yatra will begin today in Thoubal and travel approximately 6,700 kilometers in 67 days, passing through 110 districts.The images from Thoubal, where the preparations were well underway, were released by ANI. Congressman Rahul Gandhi honored World War II soldiers at the Kohima War Cemetery in Nagaland on Tuesday as the third day of his Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra began in Kohima.

The Nyay Yatra intends to travel more than 6,000 kilometers in total and is anticipated to arrive in Mumbai by the middle of March.A general overview of the new political alignment that is developing in the hills may be found in Edwards' involvement in the rally. Planning overseas with friends in the INDIA (Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance) grouping suggests that the Indian National Congress is trying to pursue a cooperative strategy. One goal would undoubtedly be to retain the Darjeeling parliamentary constituency, where the Congress formerly held a majority."A political party is organizing the yatra, but anyone in need of justice is welcome to participate in the march. According to Edwards, "We are walking for the Gorkhas who need justice," The Telegraph reported.In the North Bengal tea belt, where it had a long-standing strong base along with its trade union front, INTUC, the Congress has been trying to win back support there. Party insiders claim that after Edwards' December meeting with Gandhi, there were signs that the Hamro Party was inclined toward working with the Congress and could perhaps join the INDIA group. Gandhi will traverse Manipur to Assam on his yatra, and four days later, he would pass into Bengal from Baxirhat, which is located on the Assam–Bengal interstate boundary.According to The Telegraph, which cited party sources, the Nyay Yatra is scheduled to pass through Cooch Behar on January 26, Republic Day, when it arrives in Bengal.
