The Hindu Editorial Article On Rahul Gandhi and his yatras

The second edition of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra, the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, concluded in Mumbai on March 17 with a rally that also saw the participation of some of the party’s allies. Through the two editions of this yatra, Mr. Gandhi traversed (to move or travel through an area)  a distance over 10,000 kilometres across the length and breadth of the country, meeting multitudes (a large number of people or things) of people from across society. In the process he has also travelled some distance in his own evolution (a gradual process of change or development) as a leader, to emerge as the most strident face of anti-Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) politics in India. If there was novelty (the quality of being new and unusual) and euphoria around the first edition, that was from Kanniyakumari to Srinagar, the second one, from Manipur to Mumbai, was more clinical and functional. With Mr. Gandhi tramping through the picturesque countryside (land not in towns, cities, or industrial areas, that is either used for farming or left in its natural condition), the first yatra delivered a nebulous message of love and harmony (a situation in which people are peaceful and agree with each other, or when things seem right or suitable together) framed around the slogan, Nafrat Ke Bazaar Mein Mohabbat Ki Dukaan (outlet of love in a market of hate). To insulate Mr. Gandhi from expectations of immediate politics, the Congress insisted that the yatra was not an electoral exercise, but an ideological (based on or relating to a particular set of ideas or beliefs) campaign. The yatra gained the Congress some electoral advantage in Karnataka and Telangana which it went on to win in the Assembly elections that followed, but the party lost in the elections in Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan.

In the second edition, the yatra’s theme was built around social justice, a euphemism for a wider representation (a person or organization that speaks, acts, or is present officially for someone else) of caste groups in power. Both the yatras have achieved the goal of energising the party cadres, who found themselves suitably employed and connected to the party leadership in the run-up to the general election. The paradox (a situation or statement that seems impossible or is difficult to understand because it contains two opposite facts or characteristics) for the Congress leaders is that the more success they meet, the stronger will be the pushback from their own allies. A wobbly, weak and flexible Congress at the centre of the anti-BJP alliance is a stronger glue to keep the alliance together. In States where the Congress is subservient to the regional forces, from Tamil Nadu to Bihar, the alliance (an agreement to work with someone else to try to achieve the same thing) is in better shape. But in West Bengal, where the State party chief, Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, refused to bow down to the Trinamool Congress, the alliance fell through. The planning and management of the two editions of the Bharat Jodo Yatra also turned out to be a notable renewal (the act of making an official document, agreement, or rule continue for more time) of the party’s organisational capacity. But, equally, the 2024 general election will put to the test Mr. Gandhi’s brand of politics centred around left-leaning welfarism and inchoate secularism (the belief that religion should not be involved with the ordinary social and political activities of a country).
