Congress leader Rahul Gandhi was joined by his sister and the party’s general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Thursday for the Madhya Pradesh leg of the Bharat Jodo Yatra.
Priyanka, who is the general secretary of the Uttar Pradesh Congress, arrived in Indore on Wednesday and joined Rahul early on Thursday. Clad in a white salwar kameez and a brown puffer coat, this is the first time that she was seen being part of the yatra.
Posting a picture of the two, the Congress said on Twitter: “The steps will be strong, when we walk together.”
Senior Congress leader Sachin Pilot is also a part of the Bharat Jodo Yatra that resumed from Borgaon village in Madhya Pradesh this morning.
Congress workers raised slogans in support of Rahul Gandhi and his sister and tried to come close to them, but police were seen making hectic efforts to prevent them from doing so.
Police personnel on both sides of the road held ropes as part of the security to Rahul Gandhi. When the yatra resumed from Borgaon after sunrise, the crowd presence was less compared to the first day of its Madhya Pradesh leg, but later the number of people and vehicles started increasing.
Earlier, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday accused the Narendra Modi government of breaking the "sacred relationship" with soldiers by introducing the Agnipath scheme.
The Bharat Jodo Yatra kicked off from Kanyakumari on 07 September. It entered Madhya Pradesh from neighbouring Maharashtra on Wednesday.
