New Delhi: Congress’s ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’, which started from Kanyakumari on September 7, will conclude today. This yatra has passed through 14 states and entered Jammu and Kashmir.
In the journey of about 146 days, Rahul Gandhi travelled more than 4 thousand kilometers. The yatra will end in Srinagar today. It is being said that this visit will bring a different image of Rahul Gandhi in front of the people of the country.
However, some contentious issues also arose during the visit. So Rahul Gandhi and Congress may also have to bear the brunt of this.
1) Statement on Veer Savarkar
During Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra in Maharashtra, Rahul Gandhi accused Veer Savarkar of helping the British. Not only this, he also showed Savarkar’s letter in the press conference. This statement of Rahul Gandhi created ruckus in the state as well as in the country.
2) Comparison of Rahul Gandhi with Lord Ram
Before the Bharat Jodo Yatra reached UP, Congress leader Salman Khurshid had compared Rahul Gandhi to Lord Ram. After this, Hindu organizations also protested strongly.
3) ‘This country belongs to saints, not priests..’
Another statement in the controversial statements given by Rahul Gandhi is from Haryana. This time he targeted the BJP and the Sangh. He said that Congress believes in austerity, but BJP is an institution of worship. Rahul Gandhi had given a statement that this country belongs to saints, not priests.
4) Politics over Rahul Gandhi’s T-shirt
So far, Rahul Gandhi has been in headlines for his controversial statements during the Bharat Jodo Yatra. However, as soon as Rahul Gandhi reached Delhi, his T-shirt also came into controversy. In the bitter cold, Rahul Gandhi was seen wearing only T-shirt. BJP trolled Rahul Gandhi regarding this.
5) Controversy on the issue of surgical strike
Senior Congress leader Digvijay Singh has put Congress as well as Rahul Gandhi in trouble by giving a statement in Jammu. During this, Singh raised a question mark on the surgical strike carried out by the Indian Army. After the statement of Digvijay Singh, Rahul Gandhi had to give clarification. After this statement of Singh, reactions were coming from all over the country.
How and how much will be the profit in 2024 Election?
The Bharat Jodo Yatra of Congress will end today. Lok Sabha elections will be held in 2024 and some experts are predicting that Rahul Gandhi and Congress will benefit from this visit.
However, how successful the Congress and Rahul Gandhi are in uniting the opposition in the country remains to be seen.
