The claim of Jairam Ramesh that the Bharat Jodo Yatra is reshaping Indian politics and giving birth to a new Congress, if nothing else, is a straightforward enumeration of what the Yatra aims to achieve. The Yatra heralds the grand launch of a new and shining Rahul Gandhi too.
This, no doubt, is a uniquely imaginative and audacious move to rescue a pluralist and democratic "India", as envisaged in the current Constitution, from being strangled dead--slowly, but surely. Whether it eventually succeeds or flunks remains to be seen. Odds are, admittedly, too high. Nonetheless, the response that the Yatra is evoking has offered a new ray of (impossible?) hope. Most of us Indians, regardless, have an immense stake in the final outcome. We would flinch from acknowledging that only at our own peril. <<Referring to the upcoming Congress presidential elections, MP Jairam Ramesh said on Friday that whatever is happening with the grand old party is only a “sideshow” and the main focus is on the ongoing ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’. In a press briefing in Karnataka, where the campaign entered its 23rd day, the veteran politician called the yatra their “narrative”. “It is the transformation of Indian politics, it is certainly a transformation of the Congress party,” Ramesh added.>> (Excerpted from: < https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/jairam-says-cong-prez-polls-is-sideshow-main-focus-is-on-bharat-jodo-yatra-101664537459126.html >.)
