In Rajasthan, a year ago, the board has been laid for the assembly elections, where both BJP and Congress have prepared a roadmap to go among the public. While the ruling Congress party in the state is busy welcoming Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra, the opposition BJP has launched a plan to corner the Gehlot government in all the 200 assembly constituencies where it is against the Congress. Jan Aakrosh Rally going to take out. Rahul’s journey will enter Rajasthan from Jhalrapatan (Jhalawar), the constituency of former CM Vasundhara Raje, on December 3-4, while for the next 14 days, BJP’s Jan Aakrosh Rath will take account of the government’s failures in all assembly seats. At the same time, giving the message of solidarity, the BJP is making the factionalism of the Congress an issue through the Jan Aakrosh campaign.
Let us tell you that Rahul Gandhi’s yatra has so far received good response in non-Congress ruled states, while now the yatra will enter a Congress ruled state for the first time, in such a situation, the state Congress is trying to give a message of solidarity. On the other hand, the BJP camp also has its own history of yatras, where Vasundhara Raje has changed power twice before in Rajasthan by taking out Rath Yatra.
Leaders have been very interested in the yatras
Let us inform that in the political history of the country, people have always been associated with the visits of the leaders and during the visits people have given a lot of love to the leaders. Similarly, the people of Rajasthan have also been very attracted towards political and religious pilgrimages. In such a situation, before the elections, the leaders of every party in Rajasthan travel long distances on foot.
In the history of Rajasthan, from Mohan Lal Sukhadia to Bhairon Singh Shekhawat, during their time, many small and big trips were taken, after which they got benefit in the elections. At the same time, Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, along with former CM Vasundhara Raje and Sachin Pilot have also been taking trips from time to time.
Rahul’s visit and BJP’s anger
At the same time, the Congress believes that Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra will create a positive atmosphere for the elections in Rajasthan next year, where Rahul’s visit will have a direct impact on about 60 seats in East Rajasthan. At the same time, during this, Rahul will also visit many temples. On the other hand, BJP has a target to reach all 200 assembly constituencies through Jan Aakrosh Yatra, where a plan has been made to have direct communication with 2 crore people.
Raje overturned the government twice by traveling
Significantly, BJP’s Vasundhara Raje became the state president of BJP for the first time in 2002 and during that time Ashok Gehlot was the Chief Minister and in the 2003 elections, BJP got 120 seats in the BJP-Congress contest. Before these elections, Raje had taken out Parivartan Yatra in every nook and corner of Rajasthan, the effect of which was that the Congress was reduced to 56 seats in the next elections.
After this, after assuming the post of State President in the year 2012, Raje once again took out Suraj Sankalp Yatra like Parivartan Yatra and after the elections in December 2013, BJP got the maximum majority of 163 seats. Although in May-June 2013, just 6 months before the elections, Ashok Gehlot also took out a Sandesh Yatra across the state, but he did not get any special benefit in the elections.
