The rally in Bellary was Congress’s show of strength and unity with Rajathan CM Ashok Gehlot, Cong president hopeful Mallikarjun Kharge and feuding state leaders D K Shivakumar and Siddaramaiah in attendance
Senior leader says Congress will benefit from Bharat Jodo Yatra in Karnataka, but BJP govt’s own performance will be its undoing. Response to yatra is tremendous, he adds.
For the past 3 days, Rahul Gandhi has been walking through Karnataka's Chitradurga district as part of the ongoing Bharat Jodo Yatra. This is the 1st BJP-ruled state through which it has passed.
Mallikarjun Kharge has so far held 12 meetings with 5 more planned across states & UTs. Plus, a control room in Delhi is reaching out to all those who will vote on 17 October.
The band of 150 walkers is currently in Karnataka leg of 3,570 km journey from Kanyakumari to Kashmir. They range from 27 to 58 years old, and nearly 30% are women.
Speaking to ThePrint on the sidelines of the Congress’ Bharat Jodo Yatra, Ramesh sheds light on the ‘real’ Rahul Gandhi and why the yatra isn’t passing through poll-bound states.
From him offering water to an old woman to tying up a girl's shoes, Congress circulates visuals over the course of its nationwide yatra to combat Rahul's image as inaccessible leader.
Congress chief had promised at Udaipur in May that she would participate in yatra. She walked about 1.5 km Thursday and interacted with yatris for 2 hours.
The BJP needs Hindu unity for electoral benefit, that too in a caste-ridden religious society. That makes it go for reform, reconciliation, and samarasata.
Companies are borrowing more from banks and public. Economists say high capacity utilisation & growing new orders could set stage for renewed investment push by India Inc.
New Delhi has, in past, too, objected to Chinese construction activities in Shaksgam Valley. Work in this strategic region gathered pace after the 2017 Doklam stand-off.
A theme has not yet emerged for BJP & people see lack of a contest, which makes it unexciting. For all these reasons, 2024 is turning out to be an unexpectedly theme-less election.
