The campaign will have a special focus on women of the nation.  

While talking about the campaigns, KC Venugopal, the General Secretary of Congress says, “After the Bharat Jodo Yatra, the Congress will be launching a two-month ‘Hath Se Hath Jodo Campaign’. As part of this second initiative, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra will lead multiple foot marches and rallies with women members in every state capital to spread the message of the ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’.” A few of the sources have also brought to light the information that a wave of marches with women cadres would be led by Priyanka Gandhi Vadra in March.
