When we say the word, reservation everyone means and refers specifically to caste-based reservation.  Reservation is applicable in educational institutions and in government jobs, PSUs, at the governmental level, politics, and administration. But in India, it opens up for a variety of debates in India on society, economics, and justice.  Why Reservation and specifically Caste-based Reservation? Countries around the world have various types of affirmative actions, and in India, it is primarily through reservation.

Congress and Bharat Jodo Yatra- A Podcast

-

Greetings to all listeners and readers!!

The podcast for the day is about The state of Congress party and its Bharat Jodo Yatra with special emphasis on Hits and Misses. 



Our Coverage of Bharat Jodo Yatra 

Summary of the podcast 

Generally, these topics aren’t much available in the mainstream media, because they are believed hard to crack and don't address the basics. But, through our podcasts, we disprove this misconception that these cannot be understood by common people. We explain in simple terms various subtopics under this vast topic in the form of conversational and discussion styles. Everything is easy to follow and understandable in the episode. 

The Congress party had lost the 2014 and 2019 General elections bringing it down to its lowest tally in the history of the party's electoral battle. In September 2022, the party started Bharat Jodo Yatra led by ex-party President Rahul Gandhi as the front runner, covering 4000 km from Kanyakumari to Kashmir. This was largely seen as a makeover for the party aimed at reviving and keeping the spirit of the party alive. With the new development of Rahul Gandhi's disqualification post the defamation case verdict recently, it will certainly determine how the party will move forward with the same

With the election to key states this year (2023), this will have a lot of importance ahead of the 2024 General elections, which makes Bharat Jodo Yatra more relevant than ever. Will this exercise benefit the party in the long run ahead of these elections or was it a futile exercise? 

Here is an analysis of one of the most important and magnificent political movements in India in the recent past. 

We cover in detail the following topics-
  1. Introduction 
  2. Hits of Bharat Jodo Yatra
  3. Misses of Bharat Jodo Yatra
  4. Grey areas: Inclusive
  5. Suggestions for Congress
