Advani arrived in a Tata Sumo, taking waiting photographers by surprise. There is some problem with the air-conditioning in Advani's state-of-the-art Swaraj Mazda bus and it was sent on Friday for repairs to a workshop in Nagpur. Advani looked a little tired as he raised his hand to acknowledge supporters' cheers. He was probably missing the comforts of the bus.

In picture: The bearded man partly hidden by Munde is Prakash Jawdekar. He is in charge of the yatra and juggles a thousand tasks -- organising press conferences, liasing with local leaders, worrying about the needs of Advani and other senior leaders travelling with him and arrangements on the route.
