Two big flag walks happened in Delhi.
On Tuesday, the Chief Minister of Delhi, Rekha Gupta, walked with leaders inside the Delhi Assembly grounds.
On Wednesday, she joined another walk at Kartavya Path, a famous road in the city.
Many ministers and lawmakers walked with her, carrying the Indian national flag, called the Tiranga.
Thousands of young people joined the walk on Kartavya Path and chanted 'Vande Mataram.'
The walk in the Assembly began at a statue of Mahatma Gandhi and ended at a statue of B. R. Ambedkar.
