Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, who is leading the Bharat Jodo Yatra, is walking 30 kilometres every day. People are appreciating him and trying to connect with him, Pilot told reporters in Sawai Madhopur, quoted by news agency PTI.
Pilot said people from all sections are joining the yatra.
"Rahul Gandhi has been part of the Bharat Jodo Yatra continuously for nearly 100 days. History has been created and the BJP is very upset with this. It is worried as to how so many people are getting connected," the former deputy chief minister said.
