The Janata Dal (United) will join the Uttar Pradesh leg of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi-led Bharat Jodo Yatra, the ruling regional party of Bihar said on Monday.
The JD (U) Uttar Pradesh unit president Anoop Singh Patel will participate in the yatra once it enters the state on January 3.
He said party leader and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar had expressed his support to the idea behind the exercise.
However, Kumar will not join the yatra. The Bihar chief minister, being projected by his party as a likely rallying point for the opposition unity against the Bharatiya Janata Party, is starting his own yatra in Bihar from January 5.
