Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Yatra is going to start again on January 3. After traveling about 2800 km, now in the next phase, Rahul Gandhi will try to connect with people in Punjab and Jammu, and Kashmir. Before this, he will pass through different areas of North-East Delhi, which were victims of riots in 2020, and try to understand the pain of the victims' families. This trip has suddenly increased Rahul's stature. There are indications from now that the opposition, which shied away from uniting in the name of Rahul Gandhi in the 2014 and 2019 Lok Sabha elections, is now thinking of taking the Congress along. Will Rahul Gandhi succeed in becoming the face of the opposition?
Senior political analyst Ashwin Kumar told Amar Ujala that Congress is the only party that has its presence everywhere across the country. Even after coming to power twice at the Center with tremendous power, the BJP has not yet been able to reach every part of the country. Even in a weak condition, Congress gets votes all over the country and its MLAs-MPs are elected from every corner of the country. The opposition understands the political importance of the Congress as well as the BJP. This is the reason why she remains the target of the BJP the most.
Many big leaders like Nitish Kumar, Mamta Banerjee, Sharad Pawar, and Arvind Kejriwal are present in the opposition, but none of these leaders have their presence in more than one or two states. The opposition cannot think of contesting elections in the whole country on his face. While Congress has a pan-India presence and is strong in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Karnataka, and Telangana. If the entire opposition along with the Congress puts up a strong fight in these states, it can pose a strong challenge to the BJP in these states.
face and issue important
Political analyst Sunil Pandey told Amar Ujala that elections in India often come to a standstill. People give more importance to faces than issues. The Lok Sabha elections of 2014 and 2019 are proof that the people of the country give more importance to faces than issues. In such a situation, if the opposition can project a strong face in front of Modi, then his path may become easier.
In this equation, except for Rahul Gandhi, there is no other big leader present in the opposition camp, who can be presented as the face of the opposition. Nitish Kumar and Arvind Kejriwal are popular faces and have their achievements, but votes cannot be sought across the country in their name. Also, it may be difficult for other parties to accept him as a national face. Whereas, due to the presence of Congress in every state and being recognized among the people as a face, under an agreement, Rahul Gandhi can be fielded in the election battle by making him a face.
Political pundits believe that Bharat Jodo Yatra has worked to strengthen the image of Rahul Gandhi. The victory of the Congress in Himachal Pradesh has also made the need for Congress clear. If the Congress does better in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, and Karnataka elections to be held this year, then Rahul Gandhi's 2024 claim will get more strength.
these are the challenges
However, the biggest stumbling block in accepting Rahul Gandhi as a leader may come from the opposition's other claimants. In this, along with Nitish Kumar, Mamta Banerjee, and Kejriwal, Telangana Chief Minister KCR can also be there. But the way Nitish Kumar has shown his consent in the name of Rahul Gandhi keeping in view the ground situation, other leaders can also be brought on this path. This can be attempted with the support of strong opposition leaders like Sharad Pawar, who has already ruled out the possibility of forming a major alliance at the national level without Congress. Since the BJP has already started playing its cards for 2024, the opposition must come together on one platform and execute its strategy without losing any time.
