Riding on a bus and lined up with a cavalcade of Congressmen, Rahul commenced his road show from Jhalawar around 3.25pm and proceeded to the Jhalawar-Kota National Highway No. 52. Sachin Pilot, Ashok Gehlot, CP Joshi and other senior Congress leaders joined him on the bus.
Rahul first stop was at the Kheemach village near Jhalawar where he was garlanded by Congress workers. Rahul was given a rousing reception at over a dozen places on the way with workers waiting for their leader.

At a meeting at Mandana region of Ladpura assembly constituency of Kota organised by Congress leader, Naimuddin Guddu, Rahul said: “The 56-inch chowkidar got intimidated by the possible Rafale deal probe by the CBI director so he removed CBI director last (Tuesday) night”.
He sent CBI director on leave as “he was frightened that if the CBI probes the Rafale deal, then the entire corruption would be exposed”. He also accused the BJP of waiving loans of big corporates instead of helping the farmers.
