Jai Parkash, a senior Congress leader and MP from Hisar, recently criticized Brijendra Singh's Sadbhav Yatra, suggesting it has not effectively engaged farmers in the region. Parkash pointed out that many farmers still resent Brijendra for his previous affiliation with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) during the protests against the now-repealed farm laws. He emphasized that the yatra, which began in October last year and aims to cover all 90 constituencies in Haryana by May 30, has not generated significant public interest. Brijendra, who switched from the BJP to Congress ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, has been using the yatra to address issues like unemployment and governance. However, many Congress leaders, including former chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda, have opted not to participate, indicating that the yatra is not officially sanctioned by the party. This division has raised concerns about factionalism within the Haryana Congress.
