Former party chief Rahul Gandhi reached the village from Delhi ahead of the resumption of the march, Congress Uttar Pradesh unit spokesperson Anshu Awasthi said.
The march is expected to enter Panipat in Haryana in the evening, ending its journey in the politically crucial state that sends 80 members to Lok Sabha.
Gandhi, who was again seen wearing a white T-shirt that he has sported for much of the journey, was accompanied by senior Congress leaders such as former Union minister Jairam Ramesh and the party’s state chief Brijlal Khabri.
