Congress leader Rahul Gandhi interacted with a group of auto-rickshaw drivers in Delhi on Friday (May 29) afternoon, wearing an auto driver's uniform and reportedly 'unexpectedly' joining a group of rickshaw drivers for a meal at Todarmal Park in Bengali Market.
According to visuals shared by news agency ANI on X, the Congress leader took selfies with children during the interaction and reportedly listened to the concerns of auto-rickshaw drivers' daily struggle amid rising cost of living as a result of inflating oil prices due to the US-Iran war.
"We are not able to find a job," an auto-rickshaw driver, who shared a meal with the Congress leader, told ANI.
"Rahul Gandhi interacted with us. He promised to raise our issues in Parliament, our insurance, and other support. We even shared a simple meal. Rahul Gandhi met us unexpectedly while we were eating, and it felt good," the driver added.
This isn't the first time Rahul has met workers to hear out and address their daily concerns. Back in July of 2022, the Congress leader interacted with labourers at Guru Tegh Bahadur Nagar (GTB) of the national capital.
