If the last 24hrs are any indication, there's a small sign that #Congress has started gaining ground.
Not only was TV media reporting on them yesterday, but this is front-page in TOI today.
It starts with the media.

More the people get to hear #RahulGandhi and #PriyankaGandhi, more they'll be able to judge for themselves whether these are leaders they want to have.
Many ppl STILL retain the image of "Pappu" propagated so successfully by BJP pre-2014.
Let ppl see more of today's #RahulGandhi.

Ofc there's a core BJP supporter group which will always vote BJP.
But there are many who vote BJP cos they believe #Congress has lost it.
THESE are the ppl who can be made to re-think, cos they're open-minded enough to give Cong a chance again.
But first they have to believe.

It was heartening yesterday to see a pic of youngsters in a metro watching #RahulGandhi's PC on their mobile phones.
This is what we need.
Youngsters interested enough in politics, directly consuming #RahulGandhi's message, judging for themselves.
Importantly, media showed it.

By 2024, BJP would've been in power for an uninterrupted 10yrs.
Many voters in 2024 will have no personal experience of Cong/UPA era.
They will only know of #Congress from others, so no Cong baggage in their minds.
That CAN work in Cong favour, if new messaging is effective.

In all this, I keep looking at the media.
Its power to influence voters must not be underestimated.
TV streams into 100s of millions of homes daily.
Many read print too.
Media played a MASSIVE role in creating unfavourable public opinion towards UPA in 2014, and building up Modi.
