Senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh has rejected the BJP's claims that the 2024 poll results are a foregone conclusion, saying "Tiger zinda hai" and that the opposition bloc will repeat the history of 2004 when the saffron party was unseated from power despite its 'shining India' campaign.
In an interview with PTI, Mr. Ramesh asserted that only a strong Congress can ensure a strong Opposition and the 'Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra' is an effort to strengthen the grand old party.
On how the poll preparations will be handled by the party while also managing its east to west yatra, Mr. Ramesh said a party organisation is in place and Rahul Gandhi would be part of the campaign despite his preoccupation with the yatra.
