These days a new journey has created a stir in the politics of Haryana. The ‘Sadbhav Yatra’ led by Congress leader and former Hisar MP Brijendra Singh continues to be in the headlines. This journey, which lasted for about 183 days, has now reached an important stage after covering a long distance of 72 assembly constituencies. During this, it has been claimed to reach every village and give the message of social unity and brotherhood.
The interesting thing is that this visit is being directly compared with Rahul Gandhi’s famous Bharat Jodo Yatra. From social media to political circles, there is a lot of discussion about Brijendra Singh’s attire and style. Many users are even calling him the ‘second Rahul Gandhi’.
What is ‘Sadbhav Yatra’ and why is it being compared with ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’?
‘Sadbhav Yatra’ is not just a political program but is being said to be an effort to give the message of brotherhood and unity in the society. But the biggest discussion is about the fact that this yatra seems to be quite similar to Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’. Long time, continuous walking, direct interaction with people – all these aspects have made this journey a topic of discussion at the national level.
Is Brijendra Singh’s attire really like Rahul Gandhi?
If you look at the pictures, this similarity is clearly visible. Brijendra Singh has also kept a long beard like Rahul Gandhi and is seen in simple T-shirt, pants and shoes. This is the reason why people on social media jokingly connect him with Rahul Gandhi. However, supporters consider it a simplicity and public relations strategy.
What is the real purpose of this journey?
During the visit to Gharaunda assembly constituency, Brijendra Singh clearly said that this is not just a political program but a mission to unite the society. Taking aim at BJP, he alleged that the party is doing politics of division in the society and ‘Sadbhav Yatra’ is a reply against the same.
What did Brijendra Singh say about Rahul Gandhi?
In a video, Brijendra Singh openly praised Rahul Gandhi. He said that ‘there is one leader in the country who directly fights the ideology of BJP and RSS and that is Rahul Gandhi.’ He further said that ‘He has never been left or right, that is why I respect him and consider him my leader.’
Did big leaders also join in this journey?
Many senior leaders also participated in this yatra. Many Congress leaders including Brijendra Singh’s father and former Union Minister Chaudhary Birender Singh, former MLA Shamsher Singh Gogi, Raghubir Sandhu and Bhupinder Lather were seen in this campaign. These leaders appealed to the people to strengthen the Congress and stand against the divisive politics spreading in the society.
Can ‘Sadbhav Yatra’ become the new political direction of Haryana?
This journey, which lasted for 183 consecutive days and reached 72 assembly constituencies, is a big political message in itself. The way this campaign has reached among the people, it is clear that Congress is trying to strengthen its hold in Haryana. Now it will be interesting to see whether this visit can have any major political impact in the coming elections or not.
