Many politicians, celebrities, activists and former bureaucrats have participated in the Bharat Jodo Yatra thus far.

Reacting to the former RBI governor’s participation in the footmarch, the BJP said Raghuram Rajan “fancies himself as the next Manmohan Singh”.

“Raghuram Rajan, former RBI Governor, a Congress appointee, joining Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra is not a surprise. He fancies himself as the next Manmohan Singh. Just that his commentary on India’s economy should be discarded with disdain. It is coloured and opportunistic,” said BJP leader Amit Malviya.

The Bharat Jodo Yatra is set to conclude in Kashmir – likely on Republic Day next year.
