Two days after Congress president Rahul Gandhi and other senior leaders gave a 'Quit-Government' call to the BJP at Sevagram, state Congress leaders have found yet another connect with party's history, when they flagged off the second leg of Sangharsha Yatra at Faizpur in north Maharashtra. That's where late former PM Jawaharlal Nehru had asked party members to go nearer (connect) to peasant masses to understand their problems.

Speakers after speakers recalled the 1936 event that was attended by Mahatma Gandhi, Rajmal Lalwani and Nehru, then treasurer and president of the Congress, which spearheaded the independence struggle. The same year, the Mahatma had established an ashram at Shegaon village near Wardha and renamed it Sevagram.
