NAVA RAIPUR, 26 Feb:<\/strong> The Congress is considering a Pasighat-to-Porbandar yatra, party general secretary Jairam Ramesh said on Sunday after Rahul Gandhi called for taking the “tapasya” of the Bharat Jodo Yatra forward.<\/p>\n Ramesh asserted that there is a lot of enthusiasm and energy among party workers for another yatra after the nearly 4,000-km Kanyakumari-to-Kashmir journey that was undertaken by Gandhi and scores of Congress persons from September last year to January this year.<\/p>\n Ramesh told PTI that an east-to-west yatra, probably from Pasighat in Arunachal Pradesh to Porbandar in Gujarat, is being considered but its format could be a bit different from the Bharat Jodo Yatra.<\/p>\n “There is a lot of enthusiasm and energy. I also think personally it is needed but the format of the east-to-west yatra may turn out to be different from the format of the south-to-north Bharat Jodo Yatra,” Ramesh said.<\/p>\n It may not have such an elaborate infrastructure that was mobilised for the Bharat Jodo Yatra and may have less yatris, he said.<\/p>\n He said that it would largely be a padayatra but there are jungles and rivers on this route. “It would be a multi-modal yatra, but mostly it would be a padayatra,” Ramesh said.<\/p>\n He said that, with elections in Karnataka in April, rains from June and again state polls in November, the yatra may have to be undertaken before June or before November.<\/p>\n Ramesh added that the yatra would be of a shorter duration than the Bharat Jodo Yatra.<\/p>\n He said that all this will be decided in the next few weeks.
