													Rahul Gandhi's biggest outreach programme of his political career, and the Congress's five-month gambit to turn around its fortunes, rests on these containers. (Express Photo)It is like a mini village that springs up at a new camp site every day, and comes alive every night, on about 60 truck-mounted container vans turned into air-conditioned bedrooms. Rahul Gandhi’s biggest outreach programme of his political career, and the Congress’s five-month gambit to turn around its fortunes, rests on these.

The containers are parked in colour-coded zones, depending on the number of beds they have. Apart from ones the 120-odd partymen walking alongside Rahul, from Kanyakumari to Kashmir, are staying in, there is a container turned into a mini-conference hall.

The ones in the yellow zone, for example, have one bed each, a couch and attached bathrooms. Rahul stays in one of these, Container No. 1.

His security personnel are in the one marked No. 2.

The blue zone containers have two beds each, with a washroom. The red and orange zone containers house up to four people, without a washroom. The pink zone is for the women yatris, with four beds — lower and upper — and attached bathrooms. The beds come with storage spaces.
