Thousands walk behind Rahul Gandhi

New Delhi: Thousands of supporters walked behind former Congress chief Rahul Gandhi on Saturday as he led the Bharat Jodo Yatra from Badarpur border to Ashram here, with the entire stretch decked up in tricolours, balloons and banners of the leader.

The Yatra entered Delhi on Saturday morning with scores of people from Haryana and Delhi joining it at the Badarpur border amid raising of "Bharat Jodo" (unite India) and "Rahul Gandhi Zindabad" slogans. With the beating of drums and playing patriotic songs, the enthusiasm of the Congress Yatris was at its peak. Waving tricolours, thousands of party activists walked behind Gandhi.

Early in the morning, Congress workers had lined up along the route and showered flower petals on the Yatris.
Security from Badarpur to Ashram was beefed up, with barricades erected and teams of police deployed at multiple points.

Congress workers set up camps at various places, where song and dance programmes were organised.
Party supporters were seen chanting slogans like "Nafrat Chhodo, Bharat Jodo" (Quit hatred, unite India).

A large number of youth supporters were also seen, who claimed to be protesting against “unemployment”.
People were also seen lining up to have a glimpse of the yatra.

Cong ress leader Kanhaiya Kumar said the BJP is scared of Bharat Jodo Yatra as it is getting a huge response from people.

A large number of workers from Delhi Congress, led by Delhi unit chief Anil Chaudhary, welcomed Gandhi and the Yatris at the Badarpur border early in the morning. The Yatra entered Delhi from the Faridabad side. Former Haryana chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda was among senior leaders present.
