He drove along a five-mile route, seated in an 80-year-old Royal chariot drawn by 51 caparisoned bullocks. Congress will meet in a “bamboo city,” accommodating 300,000 people, which has been specially erected near Hariharpur for Congress delegates. There is also a model farm, housing 500 cows, to provide milk, with huge kitchens and special water supply.
