Congress MP Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra and Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, held one year apart, were designed as a voter outreach and an exercise to build Rahul Gandhi’s image.

Jubilant at the party’s better-than-expected showing in the Lok Sabha elections, the CWC was effusive in praise of Rahul Gandhi — as also Mallikarjun Kharge, Sonia Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra — and “unanimously” passed a resolution asking Rahul to take up the post of Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha.
