Although Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge was in command of the Karnataka election campaign from the beginning, but after the entry of Rahul and Priyanka in the Karnataka elections, there was a wave of excitement and enthusiasm in the Karnataka Congress. Political experts say that after the ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’, Rahul Gandhi’s popularity has increased a lot in South Indian states, while the craze for listening to Priyanka Gandhi’s speeches has also increased among the people. This is the reason that wherever these two rallies were held, the Congress won a landslide victory.
