Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday interacted with porters at the Anand Vihar railway station in the national capital and sought to know their problems.
He even went on to wear their red uniform and badge that the porters gave him and briefly carried a suitcase on his head as he walked along with them amid ‘Rahul Gandhi Zindabad’ slogans.
According to the Congress, the Wayanad MP’s visit was in reaction to requests last month from porters engaged in the area — among Delhi’s busiest and most significant transit points.
“People’s hero Rahul Gandhiji met his porter friends at the Anand Vihar railway station in Delhi today. Recently, a video had gone viral in which the porter friends of the railway station had expressed their desire to meet him,” the Congress said in a post on X, with a picture of Gandhi interacting with the porters.
“Today, Rahulji reached among them and listened to them … Bharat Jodo journey continues,” the party said.
Gandhi has been interacting with various sections of society from mechanics to students, asserting that his Bharat Jodo Yatra, which he undertook from Kanyakumari to Kashmir, continues with these interactions.
The Congress scion recently visited Ladakh and held interactions with various social groups.
