The Congress' rally in Kashmir on January 30 after the Bharat Jodo Yatra ends is "not a coalition building exercise" or to build a platform for the 2024 general elections, party general secretary Jairam Ramesh said.

To a question at a press conference on whether some opposition leaders such as that of the Samajwadi Party, Bahujan Samaj Party, and Trinamool Congress not attending the event would be a setback, he said "No, absolutely not."
