Rahul Gandhi, a senior leader of India’s opposition Congress party, has initiated a 6,700km-long march across the country ahead of the general election. Following a successful unity march last year, the campaign seeks to demand economic, social, and political justice for the masses. Beginning in Manipur, a state plagued by violence, the Congress party hopes the march will garner public and media attention. They face a challenging task in dethroning Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Bharatiya Janata Party.
