“Delhi will be the 26th state, where the journey will be concluded tomorrow. So, in these 26 states, in the last 46 days, in different places of the country, through meetings, small assemblies, big rallies, ‘nukkad’ meetings and all the discussions, at all places...the situation that came to the fore, is definitely a matter of concern,” IYC President Keshav Chand Yadav said at a media briefing here. He said that during the Yatra they raised issues of the youth, minorities and Dalits, farmers, education, and pollution of the Ganga river.
