Rahul Gandhi helps barber get essential items for his shop
New Delhi, Oct 27: Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Sunday said it was his promise to every working poor and middle class person in India that he would bring back the smile on their faces.
Gandhi posted a video on his WhatsApp channel in which the barber the former Congress chief had interacted with at his shop in Delhi's Uttam Nagar is seen being taken to a shop to buy the essential items needed for his shop.
Gandhi had arranged for all the essentials needed by Ajit, the barber, to be made available to him.
"I have a promise to every working poor and middle class person of India that I will bring back the smile on their faces," Gandhi said in his post alongside the video.
In the video, the barber thanks Gandhi for making all the things needed for his shop available to him.
Gandhi said on Friday that hard-working poor people had been robbed of their dreams due to falling incomes and rising inflation, and new schemes were needed that would allow them to take home savings.
He had made the remarks after he interacted with the barber.
Gandhi had shared on X the video of his visit to the barber shop in Uttam Nagar's Prajapat Colony. He was seen in the clip enquiring about the barber's problems while getting his beard trimmed.
Since his Kanyakumari-to-Kashmir Bharat Jodo Yatra and the Manipur-to-Mumbai Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, Gandhi has been interacting with a cross-section of people from mechanics and cobblers to labourers and bus drivers.
He often posts videos of his interactions and highlights the plight of various sections of society.

UP: Misled by GPS navigation, car falls into river from partially constructed bridge, 3 dead
Bareilly (UP), Nov 24: Three people died when their car fell into the Ramganga river from a partially constructed bridge here on Sunday, police said, adding that they suspect the driver was misled by its navigation system into taking the unsafe route.
The accident occurred around 10 am on the Khalpur-Dataganj road when the victims were travelling from Bareilly to Dataganj in the Badaun district, they said.
"Earlier this year, floods had caused the front portion of the bridge to collapse into the river, but this change had not been updated in the system," Circle Officer Ashutosh Shivam said.
The driver was using a navigation system and did not realise that the bridge was unsafe, driving the car off the damaged section, the police said.
There were no safety barriers or warning signs on the approach to the damaged bridge, leading to the fatal accident, Shivam said.
Upon receiving information, police teams from Faridpur, Bareilly and Dataganj police station rushed to the spot. They recovered the vehicle and the bodies from the river, Shivam added.
The circle officer said that bodies had been sent for post-mortem. Further investigation into the matter is underway.
