Gandhi is expected to offer prayers at the Pangong Lake on Sunday, which is Rajiv Gandhi's 80th birth anniversary.The Congress leader's bike ride to Pangong Lake has been met with mixed reactions. Some people have praised him for his love of adventure, while others have criticized him for using a fuel-guzzling motorcycle.

Regardless of the reactions, Gandhi's bike ride is a clear indication of his commitment to connect with the people of Ladakh. The region is strategically important for India and Gandhi's visit is seen as a way to boost morale of the troops stationed there.

In recent months, the party has also sent its leaders to visit other parts of the country, including the Northeast and the tribal belt.The Congress party is hoping that these outreach efforts will help it to regain the support of the people and revive its fortunes in the next general election.
