The Congress party has praised the success of the Bharat Jodo Yatra in the recent Karnataka assembly polls. Led by Rahul Gandhi, the yatra travelled over 500 km through the state over 22 days, attracting large crowds from all walks of life. Party members believe it played a critical role in boosting their electoral fortunes. The yatra’s message has resonated across the country, with the Congress party also crediting the poll campaigns run by Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, as well as the guidance of experienced leader Mallikarjun Kharge. Congress spokesperson Shama Mohammed stated that the yatra made a lot of difference, while Pawan Khera said it was a “clear winner” in the clash of narratives between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the yatra.
