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.
