The Yatra, led by Rahul Gandhi, began from Tamil Nadu.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Nagpur: <\/b><\/p>\n
Former political strategist Prashant Kishor on Tuesday said that Congress’s ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ should have started from Gujarat or any other BJP-ruled state.<\/p>\n
He was speaking on the sidelines of a program where he met local leaders and activists supporting the cause of a separate Vidarbha state.<\/p>\n
“It would have been better had the Congress started its Bharat Jodo Yatra from Gujarat where elections are due later this year, or other BJP-ruled states like Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh,” Mr Kishor told PTI when asked about the ongoing campaign.<\/p>\n
The Yatra<\/em>, led by Rahul Gandhi, began from Tamil Nadu.<\/p>\nNotably, there was a buzz earlier this year about Mr Kishor joining the Congress, but he later said that he declined the offer to head its election strategy.<\/p>\n
Interacting with pro-Vidarbha supporters, he called for a united effort by people of the region to realise the dream of a separate state.<\/p>\n
Former BJP MLA Ashish Deshmukh had organised the programme to formulate a strategy to achieve statehood for the eastern Maharashtra region.<\/p>\n
“If people have hope, then the idea of a separate Vidarbha state can be pursued,” Mr Kishor said.<\/p>\n
“The agitation should reach the Centre. It should have a national impact. The campaign should emerge from society,” he added.<\/p>\n
He has stopped working as a political strategist and wants to work for people and not for any party, Mr Kishor said.<\/p>\n
