The Congress is set to conclude its nationwide Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra at Shivaji Park in Mumbai on March 17

"Rahul Gandhi covered 6,000 km of the country. It is fight of the Rs 6,000 cr electoral bonds of the BJP versus 6,000 km of the Congress. His second yatra started on January 14 near Imphal and is culminating in Mumbai today at the Chaitya Bhoomi, the memorial of Dr B R Ambedkar," Jairam Ramesh said

Ramesh described the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra as an ideological exercise taken out by a political party

Meanwhile, In the traffic advisory, Mumbai Police has said that on March 17, the conclusion meeting of Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra is organised at Shivaji Park, Dadar (West) Mumbai. For the event, huge amount of people from different parts of Maharashtra will come to attend with their vehicles

The police said that due to the event, huge amount of traffic congestion will be at Western express Highway, Eastern Express Highway and nearby roads leading towards the event place

"The yatra has received huge support in Maharashtra. We have given 25 guarantees for public welfare and all of these will implemented when we come to power. The BJP's guarantees are lies and jumlebaazi," Maharashtra Congress leader Nana Patole claimed

Speaking at the press conference, Maharashtra Congress chief Nana Patole alleged BJP was behaving as if it had monopoly on religion, citing attacks on the Yatra in Assam

Jairam Ramesh said it was not right to criticise Congress over its stand on electoral bonds scheme as it was not in a position to award contracts at the national level and also the central probe agencies were not controlled by it

The rally, on Sunday, at the end of the Rahul Gandhi-led Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra in Mumbai's famed Shivaji Park will be a show of strength for the INDIA bloc, with Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav and SP chief Akhilesh scheduled to take part
