Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra will be joining the Bharat Jodo Yatra on Wednesday in Madhya Pradesh where it reaches its halfway mark.
She will walk with party MP Rahul Gandhi when the Yatra enters Madhya Pradesh’s Burhanpur district after making its way through Maharashtra. Congress General Secretary Incharge of Communication Jairam Ramesh tweeted, “After the two days break, Bharat Jodo Yatra will enter Burhanpur Madhya Pradesh and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra will be joining the yatra for four days”.
After staying in Madhya Pradesh for 12 days, the yatra will enter Rajasthan, the second largest Hindi-speaking state. According to Congress veteran Kamal Nath, Rahul Gandhi will perform Rudrabhishek in Ujjain Mahakal during the yatra as well as visit other pilgrimage places. Congress will try to show his soft Hindutva image here.
Madhya Pradesh is probably the only state where Rahul Gandhi will not face any factionalism. The party seems to be united with various factions together. Kamal Nath and another stalwart Digvijay Singh, the convenor of the yatra, are working together to make the yatra a success.
Rahul Gandhi went to Madhya Pradesh only once to thank after the 2018 election campaign. He is coming to the state after two years.
After the collapse of Kamal Nath government in Madhya Pradesh and then departure of Jyotiraditya Scindia the party plunged into sort of demotivation. However, in due course Kamal Nath took responsibility of the state to revive the party once again. His only desire and effort now is to become the chief minister once again in 2023. Rahul Gandhi has given him a free hand for this.
