As part of the programme, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra will lead an all-women march in each state capital and read out a 'women's manifesto' as the Congress gears up to take the 'Hath Se Hath Jodo Abhiyan' to the booth level.

Apart from Priyanka's all-women march, Congress workers will also distribute letters written by Rahul Gandhi and a charge sheet against the BJP government to every person.

After the Yatra, a block-level convention will be held in each district which will be attended by the state Congress president and senior leaders.
