On the eve of the Congress' Bharat Jodo Yatra's entry into Maharashtra, state Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chief Chandrashekhar Bawankule on Sunday said the march had been "hijacked" by some leaders who wanted to be close to Rahul Gandhi.

The yatra will arrive in Maharashtra's Nanded district around 9 pm on November 7 from neighbouring Telangana, the party said earlier in the day.
