Rahul Gandhi’s Kendrapara Election Rally: While PM Modi continues to hold election rallies on behalf of the BJP for the Lok Sabha elections, Rahul Gandhi is leading the charge for Congress. On Sunday, Rahul Gandhi was in Odisha, addressing a rally in Kendrapara. He vigorously targeted the BJP-BJD alliance in Odisha, levying numerous allegations of corruption. However, questions have arisen about Rahul Gandhi’s choice to visit Kendrapara, prompting scrutiny from political experts.
A similar analysis has gained traction on social media platform X, where a political analyst questioned Rahul Gandhi’s decision-making abilities, stating, “This is a very poor decision. Can someone who is unaware of when and where to campaign in a lengthy general election effectively lead the country?”
Political expert Shrin (@ShrrinG) shared his perspective on the matter, emphasizing that campaigning should be strategic and focused. He noted that Rahul Gandhi’s visit to Kendrapara on April 28th was particularly perplexing, given the constituency’s historical electoral trends.

Rahul Gandhi in Kendrapara..
While PM Narendra Modi is now doing 4 rallies a day plus ad hoc road shows in searing heat, Rahul Gandhi addresses maximum of 2 rallies a day and that too not every day.
If one is addressing fewer rallies, you would think the choice of rally…

Shrin highlighted that Kendrapara has been a stronghold of the BJD, with Congress winning the seat only once in 17 general elections, back in 1952. Additionally, prominent leaders like Biju Patnaik have represented the constituency multiple times. Notably, both BJD candidates who won in recent elections, including Baijayant Panda in 2009 and 2014 and Anubhav Mohanty in 2019, have now joined the BJP.
Expressing concern over Rahul Gandhi’s strategy, Shrin questioned whether someone who struggles to strategize effectively for a long general election can effectively govern the country.
