As 17 political leaders from J&K including some senior leaders from Democratic Azad Party (DAP) joined Congress in New Delhi on Jan 06, Congress leader Ghulam Ahmad Mir said, “Many members of the Congress party joined the DAP. Like-minded parties declared that they will join Bharat Jodo Yatra. Members of the DAP also expressed their wish to join the campaign but were rejected to do so. The stakeholders of anti-BJP mostly joined Bharat Jodo Yatra.”
