Led by All India Congress Committee (AICC) in-charge for Bihar, Bhakta Charan Das, the march will begin in Bikram, a sub-division of Patna.

Das was scheduled to embark on an 11-day padyatra from January 27 but modified his plan to accommodate this march. Former Congress legislature party leader and party veteran Sadanand Singh, former governor Nikhil Kumar, Bihar Pradesh Congress Committee (BPCC) chief Madan Mohan Jha, MLC Prem Chandra Mishra, former MLC Ajay Kumar Singh, et al, were among scores of senior leaders who met Das at the BPCC office and discussed the road map for bolstering the party’s presence across the state.
