Rahul Gandhi concludes Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra by reading Preamble of Constitution
Mumbai, Mar 16: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi concluded his 63-day-old Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra here by paying tributes to Dr B R Ambedkar at his memorial Chaityabhoomi in central Mumbai and reading the Preamble of the Constitution.
The former Congress president was accompanied by his sister and party general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.
He paid tributes to Dr Ambedkar, the architect of the Indian Constitution, and read its preamble.
Earlier, addressing a public meeting in the Dharavi area, he reiterated the Congress' promise of caste census and asserted that poor women would get Rs 1 lakh every year in their bank accounts if his party returned to power.
"Dharavi is yours and should remain yours. Your skills should be honoured and this place should become a manufacturing hub of the country," he said, referring to the redevelopment project concerning the slum sprawl awarded to the Adani Group.
The yatra, which commenced from strife-torn Manipur on January 14, entered Mumbai from neighbouring Thane on the 63rd day on Saturday.
Gandhi will undertake a 'Nyay Sankalp Padyatra' from Mani Bhavan to August Kranti Maidan in Mumbai on Sunday morning.
On Sunday, the opposition INDIA bloc will hold a rally in a show of strength. Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav and SP chief Akhilesh are scheduled to take part in the event.
भारत जोड़ो न्याय यात्रा का आज समापन है - पर यह अंत नहीं, न्याय की लड़ाई का आरंभ है!

यात्रा के दौरान मैंने हर वर्ग के साथ हो रहे भयंकर अन्याय और उत्पीड़न को बहुत करीब से जाना और समझा। मैं देशवासियों की उम्मीदों भरी आंखों में छिपे छोटे-छोटे सपनों को अपने साथ लेकर जा रहा हूं।

KKR defeat LSG via Super Over
Lucknow (PTI): Kolkata Knight Riders edged Lucknow Super Giants via Super Overs in a battle between two bottom-placed teams in the IPL, here on Sunday.
Chasing a modest 156, LSG suffered a batting collapse and managed to tie the contest and take it to Super Over with No. 9 Mohammed Shami striking a last-ball six against a wayward Kartik Tyagi, who leaked 16 runs in the final over.
But Sunil Narine bowled a stunning Super Over conceding just one run and taking two wickets to give KKR an easy target.
Rinku Singh then finished the chase with a boundary off first ball from Prince Yadav.
Earlier the KKR were in deep trouble with 93/7 in 15 overs but Rinku smashed a sensational 83 not out from 51 balls including four sixes in a row in the final over to lift them to 155/7.
Cameron Green (34) was the only other batter to reach double-digit scores as KKR suffered a familiar batting meltdown with Mohsin taking his maiden fifer.
In reply, LSG continued their dismal show with the bat to succumb to their fifth loss in a row.
Brief Scores:
Kolkata Knight Riders 155/7; 20 overs (Rinku Singh 83 not out, Cameron Green 34; Mohsin Khan 5/23). Lucknow Super Giants 155/8; 20 overs (Rishabh Pant 42). KKR won via Super Over.
