A cross-country march led by Indian opposition leader Rahul Gandhi reached the capital New Delhi on Saturday in the hope of regaining some lost popularity from the ruling Hindu-nationalist party.
Over 1,000 people joined Gandhi’s march against “hatred and division”, which aims to reverse the fortunes of the Congress party by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the 2019 election.
The parade, which has received a better-than-expected public response, will take a nine-day break in Delhi before beginning its final leg on January 3 towards Srinagar in the northernmost Himalayan region of Kashmir.
