Will Bharat Jodo Yatra help transform Rahul Gandhi’s image?

The Hindu  

Even though the Bharat Jodo Yatra is aimed at combating the divisive politics of the BJP, besides issues like unemployment, price rise and corruption prevailing in the country, the Congress party, which is spearheading the padayatra, is pinning its hopes on the ambitious march helping build the image of its leader Rahul Gandhi, that has been the target of a sustained social media onslaught by its political rivals. An ‘intelligent and sincere’ leader Dr Shushrutha H V, a neurologist from Mysuru, who returned to India after working in the US for 16 years, and is presently a “Bharat Yatri”, said his opinion on Mr. Gandhi, that had been built on the “distorted social media” feed, changed after he met him. While the Congress leader, through the padayatra, was managing to consolidate enough goodwill for the party and for himself, Ms. Nagaraj was not sure if Mr. Gandhi had the leadership qualities that the party needs at present and how long the goodwill generated through the Bharat Jodo Yatra can be sustained by the party. Even though the number of people with whom Mr. Gandhi manages to show his “true picture” during his Kanyakumari to Kashmir march in proportion to the country’s population is anybody’s guess, the Congress is leaving no stone unturned to make viral the images, like the one in which he is seen addressing a gathering in a downpour, tying the shoe lace of his mother Ms. Sonia Gandhi and embracing people, to promote his image as a serious, no-nonsense politician with his heart in the right place.
