He said that he was hopeful that security arrangements would be elaborate for his future programs that includes his culmination rally at Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) office in Srinagar where he is supposed to unfurl the tri-colour on January 30 and address a mega rally.
Speaking on the occasion, senior Congress leader Jai Ram Ramesh said that Rahulw as supposed to walk 16 kms today but he could walk only 4 kms due to breach of security.

Ramesh said that BJY has nothing to do with the election politics as of now. “We keep on stating that there are two ways: one that of BJP and RSS and another that of Congress which is the Gandhian way.”
