The recent activism of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in the politics of Bihar has once again sparked discussion. In Begusarai, going into the pond for fishing is not just being considered a symbolic event but a political message.
Rahul Gandhi, who is trying to generate enthusiasm in the Congress after the Voters’ Rights March, on Sunday (November 2) took this step towards helping the fishermen and Nishad community. Mukesh Sahni, head of the VIP party and who calls himself Son of Mallah, was also present with him.
It was great to meet the fishermen community of Begusarai, Bihar today with VIP Party President Mukesh Sahni ji.
As interesting as their work is, their problems and struggles related to it are equally serious. But, in every situation, his hard work, passion and deep understanding of business is inspiring.… pic.twitter.com/8EecHux9m7

Rahul’s move symbolism or a new form of strategy?
This step of Rahul Gandhi is being seen as a new public relations campaign for Congress. Political analysts believe that by reaching out to the fishermen community, Rahul Gandhi has tried to convey the message of emotional connect. Socially, this community has been politically marginalized for a long time. In such a situation, this step of Rahul is like giving him respect and recognition.
However, BJP has made a sharp counterattack on this. Calling it ‘election drama’, party leaders said that just as Rahul Gandhi had called Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the ghat on Chhath festival as ‘drama’, now he himself is doing the same thing.
This will have a direct impact on 40 to 50 assembly seats.
Congress says that this public relations campaign of Rahul Gandhi is a proof of his deep relationship with the public. The party believes that if this campaign is successful in converting emotional connect into votes, then it will have a direct impact on 40 to 50 assembly seats in Bihar. Mukesh Sahni’s VIP party was earlier a part of NDA, but is now with the Grand Alliance. In such a situation, Sahni sharing the stage with Rahul gives an indication to the Nishad and Mallah communities that they will get representation in power.
Know where it will be affected?
According to the information, Nishad community plays a decisive role in districts like Begusarai, Muzaffarpur, Khagaria, Saharsa and Darbhanga. If the voters here lean towards Congress and the Grand Alliance, it can have a big impact on the election results. However, experts believe that if voters consider it only an election drama or a temporary show-off, then this bet may backfire. The people of Bihar now expect concrete development and employment beyond symbols.
Now it remains to be seen whether this ‘political leap’ of Rahul Gandhi actually sails the Grand Alliance or remains just another election picture.
