Yatra Unites Congress And India- Jignesh Mevani, People’s Attitude Towards Congress Changed With Bharat Jodo Yatra: Jignesh Mevani, a Congress leader and designated MLA from Gujarat, said that the Bharat Jodo Yatra led by Rahul Gandhi was a great success and the people of the country were greatly influenced by the yatra.
Mevani added that the Bharat Jodo Yatra is an honest attempt on Rahul Gandhi’s part to show his love and care for the people, beyond political gains, and is already uniting the Congress and the country. He was speaking in an exclusive interview with DoolNews.
“We can see that Bharat Jodo Yatra is a great success. The response from the people to the trip has been overwhelming and hopeful. A huge crowd gathers in support of the Congress at all the places the Yatra reaches.
In fact, Bharat Jodo Yatra has created quite a wave. People are highly motivated and inspired. The trip gives great energy to the cadres and voters of the Congress party. I think that is a very positive thing.
The second leg of the Bharat Jodo Yatra may also start from Gujarat. I have no idea about the future plans of the party. But I also hear that the trip will be in Gujarat.
If that happens, it will surely help the Congress in Gujarat deeply. It will also be useful for the electoral politics of the Congress.
Bharat Jodo Yatra has already made a huge impact in the country. The trip has certainly improved people’s attitude towards the Congress party.
Mahatma Gandhi and B.R. Leaders since Ambedkar have conducted such marches, yantras, and satyagrahas. Such trips have certainly brought them political benefits as well. The same applies to Congress.
But Bharat Jodo Yatra is beyond electoral politics. This is an honest attempt on Rahul ji’s part to show his love and concern for the people. This journey is also at a time when people are suffering so much and facing crises in their life due to atrocities unleashed by BJP and RSS.
Treating people with love and care is no small thing. That is what Rahul ji and Congress are doing now. So I am happy that the Bharat Jodo Yatra is happening. I am very hopeful about the changes this will bring about in Indian politics.
“If you ask about internal political issues and disputes within the Congress, the Bharat Jodo Yatra has already united the party, united the country, united the hearts of the people,” Jignesh Mevani told DoolNews.
At the same time, when asked if the Bharat Jodo Yatra did not benefit the Congress in the Gujarat elections, he said, ‘If you look at the Yatra in relation to the Gujarat elections, then naturally I have to ask why the Himachal Pradesh election results are not read in conjunction with it. While we are losing some states, on the other hand, we are winning others,’ was Jignesh’s reply.
At the same time, the BJP has come to power for the seventh consecutive term by winning the 2022 Gujarat Legislative Assembly elections with a landslide victory. The BJP won 156 of the total 182 assembly seats, while the Congress was restricted to 17 seats, its worst performance in history.
