The yatra, which has so far covered over 2,400 kilometers since its start on September 7 from Tamil Nadu's Kanyakumari, will travel at least 13 km in its first leg of its day three in Rajasthan to reach Mandana in Kota's Laadpura.

Mild tension prevailed during a dharna staged by the Congress after party activists thrashed a person in Jagtial town on Monday.

Following an argument, the Congress leaders set the bike of a TRS worker on fire.

Congress leader Ajay Maken urged people to see the candidates and vote accordingly after casting his vote at a polling booth in Rajouri Garden for the Municipal Corporation of Delhi elections.

The Congress is hopeful of improving its tally from the single seat it had won last time and is carrying out a silent campaign in the rural areas of the district.

T Jagga Reddy lashed out at the BJP for its poaching tactics and said attempts were being made to lure Congress leaders into the party fold.

After a night halt, the yatra resumed from Jhalara village located on the outskirts of Ujjain around 6 am.

In a series of tweets, Kavitha blamed the Congress for taking a U-turn on creation of Telangana which forced several youth to sacrifice their lives due to the utter disappointment caused by the then UPA government's decision.

About 15 to 20 Congress party workers headed by District Congress Committee president Kethavath Shankar Naik tried to stage the protest near the thermal power plant a few minutes before the arrival of the Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao.

The foot march started in the morning from Indore's Bada Ganpati square.

While the famous cricketer campaigned for his wife Rivaba Jadeja, his sister Naynaba Jadeja sought votes for the Congress, reminding voters of price rise under the ruling party and its "unfulfilled" employment promises.

People from different sections of society including a differently-abled man, Manohar, also joined the foot march and Gandhi was seen pushing his wheelchair to some distance.

The party's general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, along with her husband Robert Vadra, also participated in the yatra with party MP Rahul Gandhi and others.
