The continuous campaign on social media, the call for'Jail Bharo Andolan ', the name of Jantar Mantar, and the strategy formulated centering on Shivaji Park in Mumbai, had created the hope that the streets would see a huge crowd on Gandhi Jayanti. But if you look at the developments on Friday, the picture on the ground is somewhat different from the atmosphere created. Mumbai was definitely bustling. The presence of young people in the CJP demonstration at Shivaji Park and many famous faces also reached there. The presence of names like Naseeruddin Shah, Shabana Azmi and Vishal Dadlani gave the demonstration additional visibility in the media.
