While the Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi is arriving in the city this evening to appear at the Bhiwandi court on Wednesday, party workers have decided to give him a hero's welcome. Despite a ban on illegal banners, especially political ones, Congress workers have set up more than 500 banners along the route Gandhi is expected to take. Gandhi will appear in court over a defamation case for accusing the RSS of killing Mahatma Gandhi.
