The Congress on Friday said that the Rahul Gandhi-led Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra which is set to begin from Sunday, January 14 will be flagged off from a private ground in Manipur`s Thoubal district. The yatra was first planned to start from Manipur state capital Imphal. 

Congress`s Manipur president Keisham Meghachandra said that permission was sought to begin the Yatra from the Hapta Kangjeibung ground in Imphal but the state government gave the go-ahead with certain conditions, forcing to move the venue around 34 km at the last moment, news wire PTI reported.
