INDI-Alliance Takes Center Stage in Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Nyay Yatra Ahead of 2024 Elections.

Rahul  Gandhi’s Bharat Nyay Yatra to explore INDI-Alliance’s strength eyes Nitish Kumar’s stand in Bihar.

INDI-Alliance: By announcing Rahul’s visit, the Congress has indicated that instead of making a face the face of the INDI-Alliance, the Congress will go to the polls based on issues and keep this issue for post-election.

Will Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Nyay Yatra be able to strengthen the Congress or the opposition INDI-Alliance before the 2024  general elections?  

Who is in front of Narendra Modi? The answer to this question can be found from Rahul’s visit or this visit is an attempt to strengthen the opposition with the Congress in such states. Similar questions are floating in the air, the answers to which will be found in the political developments during the beginning of the second journey and its progress.

Rahul Gandhi had given a clear indication only after the Bharat Jodo Yatra that the  ‘Part Two Journey’  of the Bharat Jodo Yatra would happen.  It was also said that the areas from which the Bharat Jodo Yatra did not go will be covered in the second phase. The Congress feels that the second visit will once again revive the Congress workers and if the entire opposition joins it, then a strong challenge can be presented to the BJP in many states.

Indications of going to polls based on issues: Experts believe that by announcing Rahul’s visit, the Congress has indicated that instead of making a face the face of the ‘INDI-Alliance’, the Congress will go to the election on the basis of issues and will keep this issue for post-election. At the same time, Rahul’s image as the main face and leader of the Congress will be strengthened, there is no doubt about it.

Experts also say that the Bharat Jodo Yatra had created Rahul’s image as a mature leader. To a large extent, it was said to benefit from the Karnataka elections and Telangana. Congress leaders believe that the Bharat Nyay Yatra can answer the campaign to weaken the ‘narrative’  created in favour of Rahul after the elections in five states.

Strategy to challenge through coalition: The strategy has been made to challenge the BJP through ‘INDI-Alliances’ in states like West Bengal, Bihar and Maharashtra. Of the 42  seats in West Bengal, the BJP had won  18 seats last time, but this time the opposition is working on a strategy to stop the BJP by mobilizing. During the visit there, the stand of Mamata Banerjee and Congress will make everything clear.

Big challenge in Bihar: Rahul’s visit to Bihar can work to intensify the opposition’s campaign with the Nitish and RJD alliance, but before that, Nitish’s stand has to be seen. Stopping the record performance of the BJP in the last election in Bihar is a challenge for the opposition. According to the Congress strategy, the strength of the ‘INDI-A’lliance with the Congress can increase in Maharashtra too. The Congress has decided to conclude its yatra in Maharashtra as per a well-thought-out strategy.

Big message from a small state: A state like Manipur may be small but the message here is big, so Rahul Gandhi will start the journey from here. The big opposition leaders did not join Rahul Gandhi during the Bharat Jodo Yatra in various states, including Uttar Pradesh. In this context, it will also be interesting to see how much and how much the Congress’ strategy gets the support of other parties of  INDI-Alliance.

Eye on Partner Parties: Rahul Gandhi’s yatra is also going to pass through West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra, where there are big contenders in the ‘INDI-Alliance’. In such a situation, the INDI-Alliance will be monitored here. Rahul Gandhi’s yatra from Manipur to Maharashtra has a total of 355  Lok Sabha seats and the Congress currently has only 14 seats. Now if we add the allies who are part of the ‘INDI-Alliance’ coalition, then these seats reach  67. In such a situation, through the Bharat Nyay Yatra, Rahul Gandhi’s eyes will be on at least 200 seats so that he can make the figures in his favour through the ‘INDI-Allies’ of South India.

How many Lok Sabha seats in which state? Manipur – 2, Nagaland – 1, Assam – 14, Meghalaya – 2, West Bengal – 42, Bihar – 40, Jharkhand – 14, Odisha – 21, Chhattisgarh – 11, Uttar Pradesh – 80, Madhya Pradesh – 29, Rajasthan – 25, Gujarat   – 26,  Maharashtra – 48
