The Congress said on Thursday that the participants in the upcoming Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra of its leader Rahul Gandhi and anyone who helps in it in any manner would be called "Nyay Yoddha" (justice warrior).

It released a centralised mobile number on which people can give a missed call to be part of the march.

This was announced by All India Congress Committee (AICC) spokesperson Alok Sharma in Patna on Thursday.

The Grand Old Party has also decided to establish war rooms in all the states in view of the coming Lok Sabha elections.

“The Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra is against the injustice in Manipur, Kashmir and all over the country against the youth, farmers, women, Dalits and other weaker sections of the society, the armed forces, and the common people suffering due to inflation and eroding value of rupee.

“We will call everybody who participates in the yatra as Nyay Yoddha either by walking in it or contributing to it in any manner,” said Sharma.

He also announced a mobile number 9891802024 on which people could give a missed call to pledge their support for the yatra.

Rahul will embark on the yatra from Imphal in Manipur on January 14. He will traverse 15 states in 66 days, covering around 7,000 kilometres to end it in Mumbai on March 20.

The AICC spokesperson was in Patna in connection with the march, which will cover Kishanganj, Araria, Purnea and Katihar districts on January 27 or 28 and return to Bengal.

It will again enter southwest Bihar after a couple of weeks, before moving to Uttar Pradesh.

Sharma, who is also the party in charge of Bihar for the Lok Sabha elections, said that war rooms would be established in all the states given the coming Lok Sabha elections. MLC Prem Chandra Mishra would head it in Bihar.

Bihar Pradesh Congress Committee (BPCC) president and Rajya Sabha member Akhilesh Prasad Sing was also present with Sharma. He said that the seat-sharing talks with the allies were going on smoothly and would be finalised after the "khar maas" — the inauspicious considered one-month period prior to Makar Sankranti.
