'Which sunscreen are you using?' Rahul Gandhi is asked. Read his response

Rahul Gandhi: As the Congress’ Bharat Jodo Yatra enters 40^th day, party leader Rahul Gandhi has revealed he hasn’t got any blisters, nor does he use sunscreen to avoid tanning from the sun.

This response came while he was chatting with Congress workers as they sat down for a regular evening catch-up at their campsite in Karnataka. Earlier Rahul Gandhi also voted in the party's presidential elections.

Video on social media

A video put out by the party's social media team — titled "What's up, Yatris?" —, shows Rahul Gandhi asking party workers if they are doing fine, and if everyone is indeed walking in the march. "Yes, sir. 100 per cent," comes the response from the workers.

 "There are some problems when you walk so long, initially — like blisters," says one of the Yatris.

"Has everyone got blisters?" Rahul asks.

"I haven't got any," replies the lone woman in the circle.

"Nor have I," responds Rahul.

"Which sunscreen are you using?" a young man asks him.

"I don't use any sunscreen. None," Rahul Gandhi replies.

When he is told that "there is some tanning visible", he tells them, "My mum has sent some (sunscreen), but I am not using it."

The yatra

The Kanyakumari-to-Kashmir 'Unite India March' completed 1,000 of its targeted 3,570 kilometres yesterday. Rahul Gandhi's fitness and his interactions with people are among the most talked-about parts of the march.

Some shots in the video show party workers with bandaged feet.

Fellow marchers list their best moments excitedly when he asks them about their experience. "We are getting to witness so many cultures. We can simply stop and talk to a tea-seller, and get to know so much," says one. He says that even walking 14-15 km a day isn't tiring them.

Upper limit

Gandhi suggests why not walk more daily: "We can tire you, if you want that," but then reasons why the upper limit of around 20 km has been kept, "so that we can avoid peak heat".

When one of the Yatris asks what he does during the halt time — between 7.30 in the evening and 6.30 the next morning —Gandhi replies, "I do a bit of exercise. I read. I call up my mum, see what she's doing. Call up my sister... some friends."
