The Yatra with the party's logo, and photographs of party leaders including Rahul Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi and Mallika Arjun Kharge, can be called an official one," Rajasthan PCC Chief said.

Congress leader Sachin Pilot on Thursday arrived in Ajmer to conduct Jan Sangharsh Yatra in protest against the inaction of the Rajasthan government in the alleged corruption cases during the previous Vasundhara Raje-led BJP government in the state.
Talking to the media, ahead of the yatra, Pilot said, "We are here for the benefit of the people. We had promised a zero-tolerance against corruption and we still demand an investigation for the same. People have always chosen the one who stands by them and with them."
The five-day Jan Sangharsh Yatra was launched by Sachin Pilot from Ajmer to Jaipur on Thursday with an aim to raise a series of issues including corruption.
Sachin Pilot will also stop at different locations during the course of his yatra. He has affirmed receiving immense support from the public.
Earlier on Tuesday, on being asked why he is carrying out the yatra against his own government, Pilot told ANI that he is just raising his voice against "corruption".
"I am not protesting against my government, but just raising my voice against corruption. When we had come to power, we had promised a zero-tolerance against corruption, but no investigation was done by this government," he said. (ANI)
