February 25, 2021 16:11

Rahul Gandhi reiterates his demand for a fisheries ministry.

"Dear PM,

Fisherfolk need an independent and dedicated ministry of fisheries, not just a department within a ministry.

PS- "Hum do Humare do' obviously hurt bad," Rahul tweeted.

Seeking to reach out to the fishing community in poll-bound Kerala, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday interacted with the fishermen at Thangassery beach in the district.

Gandhi, who had been touring the state for the last two days, also ventured into sea with the fisherfolks in their boat.

After beginning his journey from Vadi beach in Kollam by 4.30 am, he spent nearly an hour with them before reaching the venue of interaction.

He also cast the net and engaged in fishing along with them.

Clad in blue T-shirt and khaki trousers, the Congress leader could be seen waving hands to the onlookers from the boat while reaching back to the shores.
