Taking to Twitter, the SP chief said, "Thank you for inviting me to 'Bharat Jodo Yatra', and congratulations on the success of the movement."

The yatra, which has covered 10 states so far, is currently on a nine-day winter break and will resume on January 3 when it will enter Uttar Pradesh.

It will reach Jammu and Kashmir on January 20.

So far, the 3,250-km-long yatra, which started from Kanyakumari on September 7, has covered parts of Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Haryana, and the national capital, New Delhi.

The Congress had earlier called the Yatra as the longest foot march undertaken by a politician in Indian political history.
