Sonia Gandhi in Bharat Jodo Yatra

Jadcherla (Telangana), Oct 30 (PTI) Congress leader Rahul Gandhi who is leading the party's pan-India Bharat Jodo Yatra on Sunday gave some exciting moments during the foot march as he suddenly started to sprint along with some school children, forcing others to run.

Caught unawares over his sudden shifting of gears, Gandhi's security personnel, Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee President Revanth Reddy and others also started scooting from their brisk walk. Joined by party leaders and cadre, Gandhi resumed his foot march from here this morning and is expected to cover a distance of 22 kilometres, Congress sources said.

This is the fifth day of the party's campaign in the state. Gandhi will address a Corner Meeting at Solipur junction at Shadnagar in the evening, before halting for the day.
