Accompanied by his sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and other Congress leaders, Rahul Gandhi was in Rajasthan's Dholpur on Sunday, the day before the yatra paused for the five-day break.

“Last year, we took out the Bharat Jodo Yatra to unite the country, and this year, from east to west, this Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra is being taken out to fight against the injustice happening to the people of this country," Rahul said in his address at Dholpur.

Rahul Gandhi, representing Wayanad in Parliament, is a Visiting Fellow at the Cambridge Judge Business School. He delivered a lecture to students at the university on 'Learning to Listen in the 21st Century' in March last year.

“February 26th to March 1st will be break days to enable Rahul Gandhi to fulfil his long-standing commitment to deliver two special lectures at his alma mater, Cambridge University (UK), on February 27th and February 28th and also to enable him to attend other important meetings in New Delhi," Congress general secretary (communication) Jairam Ramesh said.

Rahul Gandhi was a student at Trinity College, University of Cambridge, where he was awarded the MPhil in Development Studies in 1995. His great-grandfather Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India, was also a University of Cambridge alumnus, and the Cambridge Judge Chair in Indian Business and Enterprise is named after him. Rahul's father, former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, was also a Cambridge alumnus, according to the university's website.

The Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra is set to resume on March 2 from Dholpur, Rajasthan. It will pass through Morena, Gwalior, Shivpuri, Guna, Shajapur, and Ujjain, among other districts in Madhya Pradesh.

Rahul Gandhi is expected to visit the Mahakaleshwar Temple in Ujjain on March 5. He last visited the temple on November 29, 2022, during the Bharat Jodo Yatra.
