He stepped out of his car to the sounds of cheers from the party workers, and a band playing "Saare jahan se achha Hindustan humara" helped set the mood for the rally that started at Jogeshwari (a western suburb).
Weaving its way through the traffic, and 25-odd motorcycles carrying Samajwadi Party banners, flags and caps, the convoy of three open vans made its way through Jogeshwari, Malcom Baug, Behrambaug, Andheri and Marol Maroshi.
