‘Rise in Rahul’s Popularity isn’t Incidental; He Connects With Real India’
Pawan Sharma, UPCC social media coordinator, says Rahul Gandhi carries a humane characteristic that resonates with people on ground. His views:
As someone who has been part of the Congress party for years, I’ve had the chance to witness the remarkable journey of Rahul Gandhi. There was a time when many wrote him off, often unfairly. The BJP worked hard to paint him as inexperienced, as someone who didn’t understand the pulse of India. But now, it’s clear that they got it wrong. Rahul Gandhi has come into his own, and people are starting to see him for who he truly is — a leader who genuinely cares, who listens, and who is ready to lead.
Over the years, the BJP has relied on divisive politics, promising big things to the common people but delivering very little. Their bubble of promises has finally started to burst. People who supported them — the Dalits, OBCs, marginalized groups, and even the middle class — are feeling let down. The cost of living keeps rising, jobs are hard to come by, and instead of easing the struggles of ordinary people, the government seems more focused on playing politics. The working class, from blue-collar laborers to white-collar professionals, is starting to feel the pinch. Everyone is asking, “Where is the change we were promised?”
In this climate of disappointment, Rahul Gandhi’s rise isn’t just a matter of good timing. It’s a reflection of his years spent understanding the real India — not from the comfort of Delhi, but from the roads and fields, talking to everyday people. His Bharat Jodo Yatra was not a stunt for the cameras; it was his way of connecting with people, hearing their stories, and offering them hope. Whether he’s sitting with farmers, walking with laborers, or engaging with young people desperate for a better future, Rahul is showing a real human side that resonates. He’s not just talking about their problems — he’s experiencing them by being one of them.

The BJP’s attempt to tear down his image has failed. For years, they tried to mock and discredit him, calling him unfit to lead. But that strategy is crumbling because people are realizing that Rahul is genuine. He isn’t in politics for power or glory. He’s driven by a sense of responsibility, shaped by both personal losses and public struggles. And that’s something people can feel. He’s not here to sell grand visions without substance. He’s here to work for real change, grounded in the values of equality, justice, and inclusiveness that Congress has always stood for.
What makes me proud as a Congress member is seeing the way people are responding to him now. There’s a shift. More and more Indians are looking at Rahul as someone who can lead us out of the current mess — someone who stands not just for one group or community but for everyone. His vision is clear: an India where everyone, no matter their background or job, can have a fair shot at a better life. He’s not just offering policies from the top down; he’s building a movement from the ground up.
It’s becoming obvious that the country is ready for this change. Rahul Gandhi is ready to take on this challenge, and he’s the leader India needs right now. People are seeing that he’s not the man the BJP tried to portray. He’s a leader who listens, who learns, and who is ready to lead. And the people are with him. The tide is turning, and it feels like we’re on the brink of something truly hopeful.
