Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra (lit. 'Uniting India for Justice March'),[2] commonly referred to as the Nyay Yatra (lit. 'Justice March')[3][4] was a movement led by the Indian National Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, starting on 14 January 2024 from Thoubal in Manipur and ended on 16 March 2024 in Mumbai spanning east-west of India.[5] The campaign was aimed to increase the party's electoral engagement across the breadth of the country and is seen as a strategy for the upcoming national elections. This political tour was a sequel to the Bharat Jodo Yatra.[6][7] Unlike the last time though, the Yatra was not done entirely on foot and instead was done in hybrid mode.[8] For the longer parts of the journey, the party used buses. The change was due to time constraint imposed by the upcoming general election.

The Congress Party had said that the initial Bharat Jodo Yatra brought attention to economic disparity, societal division, and an autocratic approach to governance. In contrast, the upcoming Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra would prioritize the pursuit of social, economic, and political justice for the nation's citizens.[9]

The slogan (tagline) of the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra was Nyay Ka Haq Milne Tak ("Until we get our right to justice").[10]
