New Delhi– In a display of remarkable empathy and solidarity, Rahul Gandhi, the distinguished Congress leader, made an unannounced visit to Anand Vihar Railway Station in the capital city today. Donning the iconic “coolie” shirt and a commemorative badge affixed to his arm, the 53-year-old leader engaged with the station’s dedicated porters, uplifting luggage onto his head with unwavering resolve.
In a viral video clip, Mr. Gandhi can be seen amidst a sea of porters, graciously carrying a trolley bag on his shoulders. A warm smile graced his face as the porters chanted “Rahul Gandhi Zindabad,” acknowledging his presence. Another poignant moment captured his transformation into the “coolie” attire, marked by the symbolic red shirt, with a porter ceremoniously attaching a badge to his arm.
The purpose behind Mr. Gandhi’s visit was to address the concerns and challenges faced by the diligent porters and laborers at the railway station, a matter deeply engrained in the ethos of his political endeavors.
“People’s leader Rahul Gandhi, in a sincere endeavor to connect with the masses, met the diligent porters at Anand Vihar railway station today. Recently, a heartening video featuring the aspirations of these porters had gained widespread attention, and today Rahul Gandhi took it upon himself to visit them and lend a compassionate ear. The ‘Bharat Jodo’ journey continues,” the party announced on social media, underlining the commitment of the leader towards grassroots engagement.
Srinivas BV, the dynamic Youth Congress president, enthusiastically shared the video capturing Rahul Gandhi’s act of carrying bags at the railway station, accompanied by the iconic song “Hum Mehnatkash Is Duniya Se” from the 1983 classic movie, Mazdoor. His caption for the post aptly summarized the sentiment – “People’s Hero.”
