Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi wakes-up from his long sleep with the defeat of his party in Jharkhand, Jammu and Kashmir States. According to latest information, he is likely to conduct a padayatra from Saranath to Banaras in Uttar Pradesh very soon. The purpose is to strengthen his party. However, his program is not yet finalized. Senior Congress leaders are discussing whether it is worth conducting padayatra in this time when there are no elections around.
Actually, Rahul Gandhi has no other job to do now after his party was defeated in the general elections. Moreover, he and his mother are often facing demands from within the party to handover the party reins to some others who can lead the party efficiently. His prince image is also gradually fading away behind the strong influence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. So, all these reasons may encourage him to think about going on a padayatra. Whether his padayatra could strengthen his party or not definitely it will help him to catch the media attention after a longtime.
