Let us tell you that this is one of the sudden visits of the Congress leader in recent months, which he has been doing since the conclusion of the Bharat Jodo Yatra of more than 4,000 kilometers.
Earlier this month, during his six-day tour of the US, Gandhi boarded a truck from Washington DC to New York with a Punjabi truck driver.
A month ago, he took a late night truck ride from Delhi to Chandigarh with a Punjabi driver to understand life, experiences and daily hardships.
Earlier on May 10, he had gone to Delhi University’s PG Men’s Hostel at lunch time and had food with them.
During the Karnataka elections in May itself, Rahul Gandhi had interacted with the women traveling in the local bus during the Karnataka elections, and had asked them about the problems faced during the journey.
Since the end of Bharat Jodo Yatra, Rahul has been trying to reach the masses by traveling suddenly like this.
