Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Yatra entered Hyderabad on Tuesday, 1 November. Day 7 of the yatra in Telangana covered Shamshabad, the Old City of Hyderabad, and the Necklace Road surrounding the iconic Hussainsagar.
Gandhi was greeted by thousands at Charminar – an All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) bastion – where he paid tribute to his father and late prime minister Rajiv Gandhi. The yatra then proceeded to the Indira Statue on Necklace Road, where Gandhi, along with newly elected Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, addressed a massive gathering.
Gandhi and Kharge attacked the TRS government in Telangana and the BJP-led Centre for their "policies that harm common people." Telangana Congress president Revanth Reddy and other local leaders were also present.
Earlier in the day, Gandhi was accompanied by Radhika Vemula, the mother of Rohit Vemula, a PhD scholar and Dalit student activist who died by suicide in 2016.
Here are some glimpses from the yatra.
