Hundreds of party workers and supporters walked alongside, in front, and at the rear of the vehicle. Notably, unlike in 2019, the supporters did not display Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) flags but instead waved Congress flags and banners of Rahul Gandhi.
Before departing for Delhi, Rahul Gandhi visited a few houses at the Malavayal tribal colony near Kalpetta. Speaking to the media after the visit, he urged all those supporting democratic and constitutional values to unite and support the Congress party.
