Gujarat Cong gets ready to roll out welcome mat for Bharat Jodo 2.0

Gujarat Congress has decided to invite Rahul Gandhi to inaugurate the second phase of Bharat Jodo Yatra from the land associated with the nation’s icons – Mahatma Gandhi and Sardar Patel. Building on the success of the first phase, the Yatra is poised to take the political dialogue to the next level, covering areas from east to west of the country. Emphasising the importance of Gujarat, Amit Chavda, Leader of Opposition in the Gujarat Assembly, said: “We have extended an invitation to Rahul Gandhi to start the second phase of Bharat Jodo Yatra from Gujarat, which is the land of Mahatma Gandhi and Sardar Patel.” The symbolic significance of choosing Gujarat adds weight to this political initiative. During the Gujarat elections 2022, many people questioned Gujarat Congress leaders over Rahul Gandhi’s first phase of Bharat Jodo Yatra on why the Yatra will not cross the state of Gujarat or not. Now the Gujarat Congress is all set to answer peoples questions. Congress has strong presence in state’s tribal belt. However, during 2022 assembly elections the results didn’t turn in party’s favour partly owing to the role played by AAP in these areas. Now with the second phase of Bharat Jodo Yatra, the Congress is trying to reconnect with its traditional vote bank.
