Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav said on Sunday that he had not received an invitation to join Congress leader Rahul Gandhi-led Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra.   Samajwadi Party is a key constituent of the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) which is grappling with issues over seat sharing and Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee, Janata Dal (United) supremo Nitish Kumar and Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal deserting the alliance.   When asked about participating in the Congress yatra when it enters Uttar Pradesh, Akhilesh Yadav said, Many big events are organised, but we are not invited.   In response to Akhilesh Yadavs statement, Congress was quick to defend itself. The partys senior leader Jairam Ramesh said that the final programme was not yet finalised and the party was open to inviting alliance partners.   The detailed route and programme of Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra in Uttar Pradesh is being prepared. It will be finalised in a day or two, Jairam Ramesh said in an X post.   After this, it will be shared with the constituent parties of the INDIA bloc in the state. His participation in the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra will further strengthen the INDIA bloc, the partys communication in-charge added.   The yatra is expected to enter UP in the afternoon on February 16.
