Rahul was to unfurl the Tricolor on 30 Jan
Congress leader Jairam Ramesh took to Twitter to share that Rahul Gandhi was supposed to unfurl the tricolor on 30 January 2023 but was not permitted by the administration.
He tweeted, “. @RahulGandhi was supposed to unfurl the national flag on Jan 30th in the PCC office, since permission to do so elsewhere wasn’t given. Last evening, state administration allowed him to do so in Lal Chowk, but under the condition that it should be done today on the 29th at end of #BharatJodoYatra,” through his Twitter handle.
