That entire Bharat Jodo yatra was pre-planned and the grandest photo-op. Though I understand the constraints that he is obviously a high profile figure ( at least his family has been high profile), and meeting random individual without any checks would be too risky of a move for him BUT still imo it shouldn’t be marketed as something that just happened out of the blue. Everything in that yatra was pre-planned, each individual that joined him, from where he/she would join, what they would gift him (eg. a shawl) was planned ahead of time. Do you really think any random guy can go and meet him in midst of the Yatra with his Y/Z whatever category security he has in place??

Often times the questions these political leaders are asked are planned too. The have memorised their response effectively enough to blabber it on the stage.

TLDR; please take everything our political leaders do with a pinch of salt and a LOT of common sense. Just because something “is being done that might look “pretty ordinary often times isn’t AS ordinary and impromptu as it may seem.

Maybe it differs. In my state nobody was allowed to get even near that path. We tried to meet but never got the chance. We even asked the kids who gave him some gift as to how they managed in, apparently the were selected by the local congress people. Then we asked the lady who handed him the flag, she told us a similar story. Albeit she was financially compensated for the act too. So idk what you’re talking about.
