Bharat Jodo Yatra is getting support from Bollywood Actors
Filmmaker-actor Pooja Bhatt participated in the yatra in Hyderabad earlier this month. Pooja Bhatt posted images and video from her Bharat Jodo Yatra with Rahul Gandhi on Instagram. Using the hashtags “Bharat Jodo Yatra” and “Hyderabad,” she added, “The audacity of hope!” and included Rahul Gandhi in her post.
Riteish Deshmukh, the son of former Maharashtra chief minister Vilasrao Deshmukh, shared an image from Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra in which a supporter was seen hoisting a sizable portrait of his father over the yatris. Riteish’s wife, Genelia, who is also an actor, also posted the picture. Riteish was asked by a number of social media users and followers why he did not participate in the yatra.
On September 7, Kanyakumari in Tamil Nadu hosted the start of the Bharat Jodo Yatra, a mass contact campaign of the Congress. In addition to other states, Rahul Gandhi has finished the marathon walk in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh. On November 7, in the Nanded district, it entered Maharashtra.
