Local authorities declined permission to hold the road show in an open jeep in this historical town, so Rahul choose to ride a traditional bullock cart in a village while interacting with farmers OBC-dominated Dwarka district.
Gandhi will have brief halts for interactions and meetings with farmers, fishermen, and party workers around a dozen places during the day, covering two districts, Devbhumi Dwarka and Jamnagar, with seven assembly segments.
In Dwarka, he will be given a traditional welcome by women dressed in local traditional attire of Ahir and Rabari pastoral communities.
