Rahul now seen as game changer in Indian politics: Chavan

Mumbai: Former chief minister Ashok Chavan, who is the state coordinator for Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra, on Thursday said the campaign was a big success against communal and divisive forces and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s anti-people policies.

“The Bharat Jodo Yatra has completely changed the wrong perception about Rahul Gandhi. Now his image has emerged before the nation. People are looking at him as a game changer in Indian politics,” Chavan said.

“When the Bharat Jodo Yatra entered Maharashtra from Telangana on June 7, we were doubtful about the response. But we were overwhelmed by the unprecedented response. People from all walks of life, including former judges of the high court, district judiciary, academicians and professionals walked with Gandhi. Justice BG Kolse Patil is walking with Gandhi since the yatra entered the state,” Chavan said.
