In this, issues like unemployment, inflation, migration, and deteriorating law and order will be prominent.
- Display of opposition unity: Rahul Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav come together on stage, a major performance of opposition coalition solidarity. This journey is an attempt to make a new enthusiasm among the workers and to convince the voters that the opposition is ready to unite and compete with the NDA.
