Rahul presents new motorcycle to man who lost two-wheeler during 'Voter Adhikar Yatra'
Patna (PTI): Congress leader Rahul Gandhi presented a man from Bihar's Darbhanga district with a new motorcycle after his two-wheeler was lost during the 'Voter Adhikar Yatra'.
The party shared on its X handle a video of Shubham Saurabh, who narrated his story, proudly flaunting the keys to his motorcycle, handed over by the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha himself.
"When Rahul Gandhi took out a bike rally in Darbhanga, I had lent my motorcycle to security personnel accompanying him. I was distraught to learn later that my bike was misplaced," Saurabh said.
"Two days ago, I received a telephone call from someone not known to me. He said Rahul Gandhi wanted to present me with a new motorcycle in Patna on September 1," he added.
The youth shared the news with his father. Though they were both incredulous to begin with, they decided to visit the state capital on the day Gandhi wound up 'Voter Adhikar Yatra' with a march.
They were asked to wait at the Income Tax Roundabout, where the Congress leader, on his way to Gandhi Maidan, made a brief stopover to hand over the keys to the youngster.
"I am happy to get a brand new motorcycle, the same model as the one I lost. I am touched by the gesture coming from such a senior leader," Saurabh added.

KKR defeat LSG via Super Over
Lucknow (PTI): Kolkata Knight Riders edged Lucknow Super Giants via Super Overs in a battle between two bottom-placed teams in the IPL, here on Sunday.
Chasing a modest 156, LSG suffered a batting collapse and managed to tie the contest and take it to Super Over with No. 9 Mohammed Shami striking a last-ball six against a wayward Kartik Tyagi, who leaked 16 runs in the final over.
But Sunil Narine bowled a stunning Super Over conceding just one run and taking two wickets to give KKR an easy target.
Rinku Singh then finished the chase with a boundary off first ball from Prince Yadav.
Earlier the KKR were in deep trouble with 93/7 in 15 overs but Rinku smashed a sensational 83 not out from 51 balls including four sixes in a row in the final over to lift them to 155/7.
Cameron Green (34) was the only other batter to reach double-digit scores as KKR suffered a familiar batting meltdown with Mohsin taking his maiden fifer.
In reply, LSG continued their dismal show with the bat to succumb to their fifth loss in a row.
Brief Scores:
Kolkata Knight Riders 155/7; 20 overs (Rinku Singh 83 not out, Cameron Green 34; Mohsin Khan 5/23). Lucknow Super Giants 155/8; 20 overs (Rishabh Pant 42). KKR won via Super Over.
