Rahul Gandhi meets motorcycle mechanics in Delhi

June 28, 2023 08:43

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday visited motorcycle mechanics' workshops in Delhi's Karol Bagh.

The former Lok Sabha MP posted pictures of his visit on Facebook, with the caption, "Learning from the hands that turn the wrenches, and keep the wheels of Bharat moving."

Gandhi was seen sitting alongside the mechanics in the workshop and interacting with them.

"These hands make India. Grease on these clothes is our pride and dignity. Only a people's hero works to encourage them. @RahulGandhi with bike mechanics in Delhi's Karol Bagh. 'Bharat Jodo Yatra' continues..." the Indian National Congress said in a tweet in Hindi.

Earlier this month, during his six-day tour to the US, Gandhi rode in a truck from Washington DC to New York with a Punjabi truck driver.

A month ago, he took a late-night truck ride and travelled from Delhi to Chandigarh with a Punjabi driver to understand their lives, experiences, and daily hardships.

Earlier on May 10, he went to Delhi University's PG Men's Hostel at lunchtime and ate food with them. -- ANI
