Since the start of the Bharat Jodo Yatra, the leader has increased his efforts to personally reach out to the masses and connect with ordinary people, mainly through impromptu visits and public gatherings. During Ramzan last month, the former Congress head visited a historic Delhi bazaar and indulged in traditional local cuisine.

On Friday, the Congress leader went to a Delhi University men's dormitory to talk to students about their problems, and he also ate lunch there. With only four days to the Karnataka elections, all parties have increased their campaigning in the state in an attempt to win voters.
