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.
