Congress leader Rahul Gandhi was not present at the Gandhi Bharat event as he was not keeping well. The Gandhi Bharat event commemorated the centenary of the lone Congress session presided over by Mahatma Gandhi at Belagavi in 1924 and was originally scheduled to be held on December 27, last year. It was, however, postponed due to the demise of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

Themed as 'Jai Bapu, Jai Bhim, Jai Samvidhan', the Congress event would reiterate the party's commitment to Gandhian ideology and the Constitution.
