Pilot said, 'No matter what anyone says, we have decided to hold this yatra because people believe in us. We are starting this yatra so that we are able to fulfill the expectations of the youth. We will walk on foot. Someone who is with the people, listens to them, and becomes their voice is the one who is chosen by them.' (Source: PTI)
