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.

Karnataka School Edu Dept prohibits children from being made to dance to obscene songs
Bengaluru (PTI): The Karnataka School Education Department has issued a circular strictly prohibiting children from being made to dance to obscene songs in educational and cultural programmes.
It stated that such dances would negatively impact students' mental health and moral values. It will create indiscipline and harm the sanctity of education.
"All the Deputy Directors (Administration) of the state's School Education Department have been asked to take strict measures to prevent children or students from dancing to obscene songs in all government, aided and unaided schools in the state," the office of the commissioner of the School Education Department said in a recent circular.
"If it is found that children are being made to dance to obscene songs, appropriate action will be taken against the headmaster or management of such school," it added.
The department also listed certain measures in this regard, which include: strictly prohibiting children from being made to dance to obscene songs during educational and cultural programmes; selecting songs that are inspiring, positive, instilling national pride in children and reflecting the greatness, dignity, values, culture, and morality of the state.
Stating that the school headmaster and management are responsible for selecting songs and dances for cultural programmes, it said, they should also ensure that students wear decent clothes in dance or cultural programmes.
