The Yatra saw sweepers joining in, wherein the cleanliness warriors discussed their problems and issues with Rahul Gandhi. Rahul interacted with the workers of Keshoraipatan Municipality and walked with them on matching shoulders. With this, the women's yatra was postponed. The programme of the women's march has now been scheduled for December 12.
Meanwhile, the President of Rajasthan Samagra Seva Sangh Sawai Singh said that the situation in the country is such that the politics of centralisation has created an atmosphere of fear. Every sector is gradually moving towards privatisation, which is not in the country's best interest. Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot also joined the Yatra after coming from Jaipur.
Apart from this, Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Adhir Ranjan also joined in Bundi wherein he was seen walking with Rahul Gandhi.
