As the Haryana Assembly elections approach, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has launched the Haryana Vijay Sankalp Yatra, taking place from September 30 to October 3. This initiative aims to strengthen the Congress party's position ahead of the upcoming elections. However, there seems to be a noticeable gap between the yatra's promotion and its actual influence on voters.
The Congress party appears to be struggling with a clear campaign strategy for Haryana. This confusion is evident as they have released their election manifesto twice. Initially, a manifesto was introduced in Delhi, but when it became clear that the BJP's manifesto was resonating with voters, Congress quickly issued another one from Chandigarh.
The Purpose of the Sankalp Yatra
Rahul Gandhi's yatra seems more focused on damage control than on making genuine resolutions. In states where Congress has made promises without delivering results, this roadshow appears to be an attempt to overshadow these failures. The yatra may be aimed at diverting attention from internal issues rather than presenting a robust development plan for Haryana.

Gandhi's remarks have sparked reactions among various sections of society. The marginalization of Kumari Selja has not gone unnoticed by Haryana's voters. Despite these challenges, Congress is proceeding with the Sankalp Yatra, hoping to shift focus away from its shortcomings.
Rahul Gandhi's journey appears to be a tactic to mask Congress's past failures rather than a sincere effort to advance Haryana's interests. Key leaders seem absent from this initiative, and there is a lack of a concrete roadmap for the state's progress.
While the ongoing Sankalp Yatra might be Congress's attempt to engage the public and distract from past actions, it remains uncertain whether this approach will resonate with voters or effectively address their concerns.
Although Rahul Gandhi is leading the Haryana Vijay Sankalp Yatra with the intention of reinforcing his party's presence, fundamental issues within Congress persist. The true effectiveness of this campaign strategy will soon be revealed as election day draws near. Additionally, Gandhi's recent visit to the United States has compounded Congress's challenges in Haryana. His controversial remarks during the trip, including comments perceived as anti-Sikh and opinions on ending reservations, have drawn significant backlash that could take years for the party to overcome.
