The ‘Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra’ led by Rahul Gandhi entered the last leg of its Gujarat journey on Sunday as it headed for Bardoli in Surat where the Congress leader will visit the historic Swaraj Ashram.

The ashram was built in 1922 by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel as his residence and served as a centre for planning and executing the Bardoli Satyagrah — a farmers’ agitation and nationalist movement against increased taxation of cultivators by the then British colonial government.

Mahatma Gandhi also stayed at the ashram for a month in 1936 and 1941.
