Rahul Gandhi understood that voters were upset with the Congress and decided to undertake the Bharat Jodo Yatra, new party president Mallikarjun Kharge said on Wednesday as he lauded Gandhi for helping the party reach out to the people.

"This is a big achievement of our party and this is a big gift for us, especially for me," Kharge told a gathering at his formal taking over as the new Congress chief.
He said lakhs of people are being connected with the Congress through the yatra and urged the party members to come together to carry the message of the Bharat Jodo Yatra to every nook and corner of the country.
