The Bharat Jodo Yatra continues its trek across UP and is anticipated to enter Haryana in the evening.

In spite of the bitter weather, hundreds of people bearing the Tricolor marched across the countryside as part of the Congress's Bharat Jodo Yatra, which had stopped for the night in this village of Ailum.

According to Congress Uttar Pradesh unit spokesperson Anshu Awasthi, former party chairman Rahul Gandhi arrived in the area from Delhi before the march resumed.

The march is expected to enter Panipat in Haryana in the evening, ending its journey in the politically crucial state that sends 80 members to Lok Sabha.

Gandhi, who was again seen wearing a white T-shirt that he has sported for much of the journey, was accompanied by senior Congress leaders such as former Union minister Jairam Ramesh and the party's state chief Brijlal Khabri.

Scores of people carrying the Tricolour joined the yatra as it made its way through Shamli district.
