Mysuru: A video of Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi has gone viral on social media in which they are seen helping a girl who fell due to heavy rush during the Bharat Jodo Yatra in Mandya district.
The video was posted on the official Twitter handle of the Congress. The Gandhis are seen helping the fallen girl who was carrying a tricolour in her hands and giving a rub on her back.
Rahul Gandhi is also heard saying "aaja beta" while extending his hand to help her get up.
This gesture of the Gandhis prompted the people to raise "Indira Gandhi ki, Sonia Gandhi ki and Rahul Gandhi ki jai."
In yet another photo posted by Congress leaders that went viral, Rahul Gandhi is seen tying the shoelaces of Sonia Gandhi. "Each of her breaths has a prayer. Mothers cannot be broken, mothers are mothers," Congress leader Sahshi Tharoor tweeted.
Sonia Gandhi joined the yatra from Mandya in the morning. The Karnataka-leg of the yatra began on October 1. She had reached Mysuru on Monday afternoon and had visited Bheemana Kolli Temple near Mysuru to offer prayers on the occasion of Vijayadashami yesterday.
She also visited Bandipur Tiger Reserve yesterday with her son Rahul Gandhi.
The yatra had commenced after a break of two days because of Dasara celebrations.
This is the first time Sonia Gandhi is participating in a public event after a long hiatus. She had contracted coronavirus twice and was also hospitalized. (UNI)
