Press Trust of India New Delhi
Amid indications of Jats resuming their agitation in Haryana to press for quota, Swaraj Abhiyan leader Yogendra Yadav today kickstarted his four-day 'Sadbhavna' Yatra in the state.

Yadav was in Yamuna Nagar and Kurukshetra today. In the next three days, he will travel to different parts of the state and appeal for peace and harmony, the party said.

Yadav, who had unsuccessfully contested from Gurgaon as Aam Aadmi Party candidate during Lok Sabha polls, also hit out at the BJP-led Haryana government for its "mishandling" of the Jat agitation.

During his tour, he will visit Kaithal, Kalayat and Safidon. He will be in Bhiwani and Tosham on March 19 and will end the yatra in Hisar, the party said.
 

Haryana braced for a renewed quota agitation today even as the government made a last ditch attempt to avert it by inviting Jat leaders for talks tomorrow with a promise of getting a bill on reservation passed during the ongoing Budget Session of the Assembly that ends on March 31.
