The national flag will be used instead of party flags in the roadshow. Another programme 'Cultural Democratic Defence' is being organised as part of the conference after the roadshow.

The United Democratic Front (UDF) leaders informed that the preparations for the programme have been completed.
Rahul Gandhi lost membership in the Lower House of Parliament after a Surat court convicted and sentenced him in a 2019 criminal defamation case. The case pertained to a remark he made using the surname 'Modi' while addressing a campaign ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
