INDORE: Amid rising public outrage, Congress has unleashed its Nyay Yatra across Madhya Pradesh, spotlighting the Bhagirathpura devastation and contentious MGNREGA modifications. The multi-day march kicked off with emotional tributes, setting a somber yet determined tone.
The tragedy unfolded in Bhagirathpura when an illegal wall crumbled, killing several residents in a bustling slum. Congress pins blame on bureaucratic apathy and corrupt contractors, demanding a high-level probe and compensation. Yatra participants carried placards reading ‘Justice for Bhagirathpura,’ drawing sympathetic crowds.
Shifting gears to policy, the party lambasts MGNREGA changes like Aadhaar linkage mandates and reduced guarantee days as blows to the rural economy. Field reports from yatra halts reveal widespread distress: unfinished ponds, unpaid dues crippling families. Leaders pledge restoration if voted to power.
Crafted for maximum impact, the itinerary hits tragedy sites, MGNREGA hotspots, and urban centers. Speeches mix data-driven critiques with personal anecdotes, fostering connect. Women’s wings and farmer unions amplify voices, turning the yatra into a people’s movement.
Political observers note this as a masterstroke in narrative-building. With BJP countering via development planks, the battle for perception rages. The Nyay Yatra underscores Congress’s fightback spirit, potentially swaying undecided voters in key constituencies.
