Shukla, whose photo is featured at the bottom of the posters, could not be reached for a comment. The Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, led by Gandhi, is scheduled to arrive in Kanpur via Unnao on Wednesday, where Gandhi will address a public meeting. The yatra commenced in Manipur on January 14.
The east-to-west Manipur-Mumbai yatra, which entered Uttar Pradesh last Friday, is scheduled to traverse 6,700 kilometres through 15 states. It aims at highlighting the message of “nyay” (justice) while meeting common people on the way.
