Sadbhav Yatra is a padayatra across all 90 Assembly Constituencies of Haryana, led by Indian National Congress leader Brijendra Singh. The Yatra began on 5 October, 2025 from Narwana.[1]

Background[edit | edit source]

The Yatra's aims include restoration of bhaichara (brotherhood) in Haryana, political revival of the Congress following electoral defeat in 2024,[2][3] and raising awareness regarding national and state issues such as Vote Chori, unemployment, agrarian distress, deteriorating law and order situation in Haryana, and Indian foreign policy failures, among others.[4][5][6][7][8][9]

Sadbhav Yatra is inspired by Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Yatra, which traversed over 4,000 kilometres from Kanyakumari to Jammu & Kashmir.[10][11]

Phases[edit | edit source]

The Yatra is divided into multiple phases. After the conclusion of each phase, a 'Samman Samaaroh' (felicitation ceremony) is held.[12]

The first phase of Sadbhav Yatra covered 14 Assembly Constituencies between 5 October and 6 November 2025: Jind, Narwana, Kalayat, Safidon, Julana, Narnaund, Uchana, Uklana, Adampur, Nalwa, Hisar, Barwala, Hansi, and Bawani Khera.[13][14] This phase was attended by Members of Parliament (MPs) Kumari Selja and Rahul Kaswan, former Union Minister Birender Singh, and MLA Aditya Surjewala.[15][16][17]
