During the visit to the camp at Swaminarayan dharamshala, Gandhi interacted with delegates taking part in the training. He also listened to bhajan with them.

Former MLA Lalaram Garasia and Gangaben Garasiya also reached outside the camp venue to meet Gandhi. However, they were stopped by the police following which they alleged that tribal leaders were being stopped from meeting Gandhi.

Later, they were called inside. After spending a few hours, Gandhi returned. Earlier in the day, Rahul Gandhi reached Dabok Airport in Udaipur from Delhi. Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and Congress State President Govind Singh Dotasara received him.

From there he reached Mount Abu by helicopter. Minister in charge Mahendra Chaudhary, minister Sukhram Vishnoi and PCC member Harish Chaudhary welcomed Gandhi at the polo ground where his helicopter landed.
