Enthused by Rahul, Haryana Cong smells double victory in 2024 #IndiaNEWS #National ,Politics
By Vishal GulatiChandigarh, Feb 11 (IANS) Two legs of Congress leader Rahul Gandhis Bharat Jodo Yatra have enthused the partys cadres in the BJP-Jannayak Janta Party (JJP) ruled Haryana. In the past it was facing internal squabbles and now hopes for two poll victories in 2024.
With the states prominent political face and two-time Chief Minister Bhupinder Hooda claiming that the yatra got overwhelming support from the public, including farmers, labourers, traders, women and ex-servicemen, political observers say it brought senior leaders like Hooda and his arch-rivals Kumari Selja and Randeep Singh Surjewala on one platform, signalling they will contest the assembly elections slated for October 2024 in unison.
Rahul Gandhis Bharat Jodo Yatra will benefit the entire nation, Hooda told IANS on the phone on Thursday when asked, Can the Bharat Jodo Yatra revive the Congress fortunes in Haryana?
On the state-specific issues, Hooda, a prominent Jat face, said, Once Haryana was number one due to high economic parameters, including the per capita income and per capita investment. Now it is number one in crime with a huge rate of unemployment.
According to Hooda, the Bharat Jodo Yatra has raised three big issues economic inequality, social polarisation, and authoritarian politics and they have captured the common mans imagination.
Besides Olympian boxer Vijender Singh, Gandhi during the Yatras Haryana leg met scores of farm union leaders, including Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) leader Rakesh Tikait, the front leaders during the year-long protest against the now-rolled back three farm laws, and listened to their concerns and demands, including a minimum support price for crops.
Donning the battle gear ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha as well as Vidhan Sabha polls, Hooda and state unit president Udai Bhan started a two-month-long Haath-se-Haath jodo abhiyan, a mass-connect programme, covering all the 90 assembly constituencies.
Seeing the response of the common man to the Bharat Jodo Yatra, Meham Independent legislator Balraj Kundu, who had withdrawn support to the government in February 2020 and launched a tirade against Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, has started an ambitious Jan Jagriti Yatra.
Also, Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) leader and former Leader of Opposition Abhay Singh Chautala will start a statewide foot march on February 20 from Nuh which will conclude on September 25, the birth anniversary of INLD ideologue and former deputy Prime Minister Devi Lal.
People across the state have shared their concerns as they walked together with Rahul Gandhi and the party is confident that it will address them when it comes to power in 2024, a confident Hooda told IANS.
