Rahul Gandhi's Nyay Yatra pales in comparison with Bharat Jodo Yatra
Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, which started on January 14 from Thoubal in Manipur and will end on March 20 in Mumbai, spanning the country from east to west, was planned with the aim of pre-poll mobilisation of voters. It was expected to repeat the success of Bharat Jodo Yatra which had catapulted Rahul to the top of the news for a long period and positioned him as a leader who had the support of different sections in India. A large number of celebrities and politicians from different parties had joined Rahul to deliver the message that Rahul is a big leader who enjoys widespread support.
However, the Nyay Yatra pales in comparison to the previous yatra. Rahul has been isolated as alliance members have been ditching the party during the yatra.
How Bharat Jodo Yatra fared
Rahul had undertaken the Bharat Jodo Yatra from Kanyakumari to Kashmir from September 7, 2022, to January 30 this year.
Congress leaders have said Gandhi's 136-day march, covering 4,081 kilometres in 12 states and two Union territories, 75 districts and 76 Lok Sabha constituencies, left an indelible impression on people's minds.
During the course of the yatra, Gandhi addressed 12 public meetings, more than 100 street-corner meetings and 13 press conferences. He had over 275 planned walking interactions and more than 100 sitting interactions.
Several experts had said a big takeaway from the yatra for the Congress had been Gandhi's image transformation.
