"Rahul Gandhi covered 6,000 km of the country. It is fight of the Rs 6,000 cr electoral bonds of the BJP versus 6,000 km of the Congress. His second yatra started on January 14 near Imphal and is culminating in Mumbai today at the Chaitya Bhoomi, the memorial of Dr B R Ambedkar," Jairam Ramesh said
Ramesh described the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra as an ideological exercise taken out by a political party
