Assam women leave queue for govt scheme forms to greet Rahul Gandhi
Seeing Gandhi’s convoy passing through, all the women left their lines and ran to the road to meet the Congress MP.
JORHAT: Hundreds of rural women who had gathered to collect forms for a newly announced government scheme in Jorhat district of Assam left their queues to greet Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, who was leading the ‘Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra’ through the area on Thursday.
Gandhi reached Mariani town from neighbouring Sivasagar district around noon and saw hundreds of rural women standing in a queue at a government-controlled centre in Nakachari area to collect forms for the scheme.
Seeing Gandhi’s convoy passing through, all the women left their lines and ran to the road to meet the Congress MP.
As soon as the convoy stopped and Gandhi came out of the bus, many women touched his feet but he tried to prevent them from doing so.
The women then sought to click pictures with him, which he readily agreed to. Gandhi spent some time with them and asked about their wellbeing, before proceeding further.
Later Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh, who is accompanying Gandhi in the yatra, shared the video on social media platform X.
