Meanwhile, the party MP said the foot march is against hatred and fear that is being spread in society as well as unemployment and inflation.
“We are seeing it as "tapasya", Rahul said referring to the yatra as a mark of austerity and self-meditation.
“One thing which I have understood is that this fight is actually not political, superficially it is political fight. When we fight BSP or TRS, then it is a political contest. But there has been change in the country,” news agency PTI quoted Rahul as saying.
“The day when the RSS controlled the institutions of this country, the fight did not remain political. Now, this has become a different fight. You may call it a fight of ideology, dharam ki fight, or you can give it any framework, but this is not a political fight.” “If you look at Congress party's history, what you (reporter) said there is an energy in workers. It is an organisation of 'tapasya'…,” he added.
He also stressed that the Yatra has been received well in the Hindi-belt states too. Notably, at least nine states are due to vote in the upcoming months before the nation gears up to hold the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
While the grand old party recently returned to power in Himachal Pradesh, it is yet to be seen if it would be able to revive its fortunes in other parts of the country too.
It is to be noted that the Bharat Jodo Yatra, which kicked off from Kanyakumari in Tamil Nadu on September 7, will end with Rahul Gandhi hoisting the national flag in Srinagar on January 30.
The march has so far covered Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Delhi and Uttar Pradesh, and is currently in Haryana.
