Kolkata, January 25: Rahul Gandhi-led Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra is poised to cross into West Bengal from Assam on Thursday, entering through Bakshirhat in Cooch Behar district in the northern part of the state. Following the flag handover, the Yatra is set to proceed towards Khagrabari Chowk in the district, where Gandhi is scheduled to address a public meeting. Later in the day, Gandhi will lead a padayatra from Maa Bhawani Chowk in Cooch Behar town, with the Yatra continuing by bus and reaching Falakata in Alipurduar district for an overnight halt.

After a two-day break on January 26-27, the Yatra will traverse Jalpaiguri, Alipurduar, Uttar Dinajpur, and Darjeeling districts before entering Bihar on January 29. Re-entering West Bengal on January 31 via Malda, the Yatra will pass through Murshidabad, strongholds of the Congress, before departing the state on February 1.

Spanning 523 km across six districts and six Lok Sabha constituencies—Darjeeling, Raigunj, North and South Malda, and two in Murshidabad—the Bengal leg of the Yatra is scheduled over five days. This marks Gandhi’s first visit to the state since the April-May 2021 assembly polls.

Simultaneously, the Trinamool Congress is staging a protest in Cooch Behar, accusing state Congress president Adhir Chowdhury of disrupting the Yatra.

The Yatra, commencing in Manipur on January 14, is slated to cover 6,713 km in 67 days, passing through 110 districts in 15 states, before culminating in Mumbai on March 20.
