The Congress must be the “fulcrum” of any Opposition alliance to take on the BJP in the 2024 general elections as no coalition can be “meaningful” or “relevant” without it, senior leader Jairam Ramesh said on Saturday. The Congress general secretary also said that in his view, the Congress should be preparing to fight on its own in every state in the 2029 general elections.


In an interview, Ramesh said he would certainly put his weight behind doing another yatra from Gujarat’s Porbandar to Arunachal Pradesh’s Parshuram Kund this year, but the party has to take a call on it eventually.

“Now, whether the party will or not [undertake such a yatra], I cannot say. But ideally, when the Bharat Jodo Yatra was thought of in Udaipur, there was also a thought of moving from west to east,” said Ramesh, who along with Digvijaya Singh, is considered to be the brain behind the Kanyakumari to Kashmir Bharat Jodo Yatra, which will culminate on January 30 in Srinagar.

“We may not be in power in every state, but if you look at the presence in every village, mohalla, block, town or city, you would find Congress workers, Congress families,” he said.
