Rahul Gandhi, en route to a high-stakes protest in Bhopal, made an unscheduled stop to comfort an injured auto driver on Tuesday. The Congress stalwart halted his motorcade near his Delhi home, personally engaging with the man who had met with an accident.
Directing aides to arrange medical aid, Gandhi’s intervention highlighted his approachable side amid intense political schedules. The driver shared that Gandhi listened patiently to his ordeal and insisted on prompt hospitalization.
Parallel to this, Gandhi and Kharge are spearheading opposition to the India-US interim trade pact, which Congress claims devastates local agriculture. Crop prices for soybean, maize, and cotton have plummeted, Patwari noted, slamming the agreement as a ‘coerced bargain’ yielding to foreign lobbies.
Patwari detailed the Bhopal mega-event as a clarion call for farmers’ justice, with elaborate setups ready for hundreds of delegates. Spanning multiple states, the initiative aims to galvanize rural voters against perceived betrayals by the ruling dispensation.
From roadside empathy to rally podiums, Gandhi’s day encapsulated Congress’s dual focus: grassroots connect and policy confrontation. As preparations peak, the event promises fiery speeches and strategic farmer outreach.
