Rahul Gandhi is marching on with Bharat Jodo Yatra. But his choice of clothing has captured the attention of many. And it's making headlines again.

On January 20, Bharat Jodo Yatra entered Jammu and Kashmir, where it is snowing. And Rahul Gandhi seemed to have finally warmed up to a jacket.

Here, he is seen taking off the windcheater/raincoat once it stopped raining.
RG vowed to not wear warm clothes after meeting girls wearing torn clothes in freezing MP. He said he won't put on a jacket till they were in torn clothes.
The maximum temperature in Kathua is around 12 degree Celsius, while the minimum is 8 degrees.
Bharat Jodo Yatra was temporarily suspended after Congress MP Santokh Singh Chaudhary died while walking with RG. It was resumed after the MP's cremation.
Bharat Jodo Yatra began on Sep 7, 2022, in Kanyakumari, Tamil Nadu. Now, it has reached J&K, having covered the length of the country.
A snow path awaits Gandhi as he carries on with the march. 2024 is just round the corner. Will RG's display of empathy translate into votes at the election?
