In the 2017 elections, Rahul Gandhi swept Gujarat along with the then party general secretary Ashok Gehlot. If this second visit of Rahul takes shape, he will again reach Bapu’s birthplace after more than five years. This journey of Rahul is being called the journey from East to West. Its name can be Tapasya Yatra. Last time when Rahul Gandhi reached Porbandar, he had seen and understood things related to Mahatma Gandhi for a long time, although Congress leader Arjun Modhwadia could not win from Porbandar’s seat, this time Modhwadia won from Porbandar, but in the state. The party is in its worst phase ever.

Rahul went to Kirti Mandir
When Rahul Gandhi reached Porbandar, he was the Vice President of the Congress. Rahul has come a long way since that Porbandar visit. Congress workers are hopeful that Rahul Gandhi’s visit this time will be beneficial. In his last visit, Rahul Gandhi had also met fishermen during his visit to Porbandar, where the central government of BJP was besieged on the issue of demonetisation during the election season. Rahul Gandhi also went to Kirti Mandir then and spent a lot of time there.

Traveled from Porbandar to Ahmedabad
Rahul Gandhi had traveled up to Ahmedabad after addressing the Navarsajan Machhimar Adhikar Sabha in Porbandar. The journey ended in Nicole. This was Rahul’s election journey which was about 400 kms. Rahul also held intermittent meetings at many places and met people. A senior Congress leader says that due to the campaign of Rahul Gandhi, the party reached 77 seats and the BJP was reduced to 99, this time there was a vacuum in the election campaign of the Congress. Due to this the party suffered losses. Congress has got only 17 seats in the 2022 elections. In such a situation, the party hopes that the party can benefit from the austerity journey.
