‘Spiritual journey’: Rahul visits Kedarnath ahead of state polls

In an attempt to reinforce his Hindu image and counter the BJP's campaign, Rahul Gandhi, leader of the Indian National Congress, has made a sudden visit to the Kedarnath temple in Uttarakhand. Sources say that the party contacted former Uttarakhand Congress chief Ganesh Godiyal five days ago to plan the trip. This pilgrimage can help the party's messaging during the ongoing campaign for five assembly elections.
