New Delhi: A couple of pictures of Rahul Gandhi standing in a queue at an airport apron along with common passengers have been going viral on Saturday. While a few social media users holding the pictures as Rahul Gandhi’s candid effort at being an Aam Aadmi while the others believe that the Congress vice president is just going for a good photo-op for the election season.
Rahul Gandhi had flown in to Delhi from Vadodara late on Friday night to spend some quality time with mother Sonia Gandhi on her 71st birthday, which is on Saturday. These photos were most likely taken at the Delhi airport as Gandhi was heading back to Ahmedabad earlier on Saturday.
Thing is, this isn’t the first time Rahul Gandhi ditched the private jet and went common flight way. Back in July, Congressman Gaurav Pandhi tweeted a picture of Rahul Gandhi standing in line at an airport apron.
Rahul Gandhi, who is expected to soon take over as Congress president, is scheduled to begin a tour of north Gujarat today, which will be voting in the second phase on December 14. Meanwhile, phase 1 of voting began in Gujarat on Saturday morning.
