Days after Akhilesh Yadav said he hasn’t been invited for the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, the Congress on Tuesday extended an invitation to the Samajwadi Party chief to join the Rahul Gandhi-led yatra in its Uttar Pradesh leg.Accepting the invitation extended by Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, Yadav said he will join the yatra either in Amethi or Raebareli.
“Akhilesh Yadav has received an invitation of Mallikarjun Kharge to join Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra which enters UP on February 16. Yadav has given consent to join the yatra either in Amethi or Raebareli,” the SP said in a statement.
Yadav said he expected that the Nyay Yatra would strengthen the ‘PDA’ strategy of the SP and take forward its agitation for “social justice and mutual harmony”.
