Actor-turned-politician Kamal Haasan also joined the Gandhis yatra in Delhi today. Several party leaders, including Jairam Ramesh, Pawan Khera, Bhupinder Singh Hooda, Kumari Selja and Randeep Surjewala were seen marching with Mr Gandhi. Later, former Congress President Sonia Gandhi and party general secretary Priyanka Gandhi also joined Rahul. This is the second time Sonia Gandhi has joined the yatra. In October, she had taken part in the Congress' mega foot march in Karnataka. As the Bharat Jodo Yatra entered the national capital from Faridabad early this morning, Delhi Congress Chief Anil Chaudhary welcomed Mr Gandhi, other party leaders and the yatris at Badarpur Border amid "Rahul Zindabad" chants. While addressing party workers and leaders, Rahul Gandhi reiterated that the motive of his yatra is to open a 'mohabbat ki dukaan' (shop of love) amid a 'nafrat ka bazaar' (market of hatred). "Common man of the country is now talking about love. In every state, lakhs have joined the yatra. I have told people of RSS and BJP that we are here to open shop of love in your 'bazar' of hatred," Mr Gandhi said. Mr Gandhi said the purpose of the Yatra is to showcase "real Hindustan" where people help each other. "They (BJP, RSS) spread hatred, we (Congress) spread love," he said.
