Senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh wrote in a tweet, "7th September 2022.  A day when the country's oldest political party will start the longest padyatra ever.  Today is a day of quiet contemplation and renewed resolve.  This is a turning point in Indian politics.  Symbolizes a new beginning."

7 सितंबर 2022। एक ऐसा दिन जब देश की सबसे पुरानी राजनीतिक पार्टी अब तक की सबसे लंबी पदयात्रा शुरू करेगी। आज का दिन एक शांत चिंतन और नए सिरे से संकल्प का दिन है। भारतीय राजनीति में यह एक टर्निंग पॉइंट है। एक नई शुरुआत का प्रतीक है। — Jairam Ramesh (@Jairam_Ramesh) September 7, 2022
