It is the 33 day of Bharat Jodo yatra which is led by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. He resumes his march from Pochkatte from Tumkur district.

Earlier, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi visited Badanavalu, a village in the Karnataka’s Mysuru district. There he inaugurated a path with colourful interlocking tiles connecting the Dalit quarters of the village with that of the Lingayat community.

Named ‘Bharat Jodo’ Road, the path was renovated in a matter of 48 hours by the Congress that said it aimed to send out a message of harmony among communities. The path connecting the Dalit and Lingayat homes in Badanavalu village had been cut off since 1993, when three Dalits were killed in a clash over temple entry.
