Padayatra (Hindi, lit. journey by foot) is a journey undertaken by a politician to interact more closely with different parts of society and to galvanize his or her supporters. Gandhi originated the padayatra with his famous Salt march to Dandi in 1930. Prominent padayatras have been undertaken by Chandra Shekhar Singh and Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy and Rajagopal, PV who, in Janadesh 2007 led 25,000 landless peasants on 28 day march from Gwalior to Delhi.
