As the country embraces the new Rahul Gandhi after the Bharat Jodo Yatra, the Congress leader cannot but embrace the challenge of practising politics in these dark times.
To many in Srinagar, Rahul Gandhi’s flag hoisting in Lal Chowk was just another political display. Post abrogation of Article 370 in 2019, Kashmiris have 'lost faith in Delhi parties’, analysts say.
There was no way a flailing dynast could have taken on a leader like Narendra Modi. But now, with the change in the way he is perceived, Rahul Gandhi finally has a shot.
Advani's rath yatra left a legacy of violence in the form of riots. Rahul Gandhi’s yatra has been staked on the power of nonviolence. On this yardstick, Bharat Jodo Yatra is a winner.
In such a buzz-creating yatra, not one new Congress leader was born. Pramod Mahajan, M. Venkaiah Naidu, Modi emerged from Advani's and Manohar Joshi’s yatras.
Congress leader spoke at rally amid heavy snowfall at Sher-e-Kashmir stadium. Event attended by members of many oppn parties. Omar Abdullah, Kharge and Priyanka also addressed crowd.
Bharat Jodo Yatra, which began on 7 September, will officially end with a public rally in Srinagar. Rahul Gandhi, who led it, said it would have an impact on national politics.
Rahul Gandhi’s gesture comes amid the uproar caused by former MP chief minister Digvijaya Singh questioning the 2016 surgical strikes and alleging security lapse that led to the Pulwama terror attack.
Over generations, Bihar’s bane has been its utter lack of urbanisation. But now, even Bihar is urbanising. Or let’s say, rurbanising. Two decades under Nitish Kumar have created a new elite in its cities.
Indian govt officials last month skipped Turkish National Day celebrations in Delhi, in a message to Ankara following its support for Islamabad, particularly during Operation Sindoor.
Bihar is blessed with a land more fertile for revolutions than any in India. Why has it fallen so far behind then? Constant obsession with politics is at the root of its destruction.
Cancer of Congress.
