Former president of Indian National Congress, Rahul Gandhi was deeply motivated and inspired by meeting Annamalai in Tamil Nadu during his recent trip to the state.
He further said, “There is so much to learn from our fellow citizens, one only needs the humility to listen.” Annamalai is a physically disabled person who impressed Rahul with his strength and determination.
Rahul was doing rallies and campaigning in Tamil Nadu ahead of the State Assembly elections.
Before this Congress leader, Rahul Gandhi kept his promise to an 11-year-old aspiring athlete in Kanyakumari district of Tamil Nadu by giving him a pair of sports shoes. Rahul gifted Antony Felix shoes worth Rs 5,900 as per Times of India.
In Tamil Nadu, the ruling AIADMK and the BJP have joined hands and the opposition DMK will fight the assembly election with the Congress once again. Gandhi, who is currently the MP from Wayanad, was in Kerala before visiting Tamil Nadu.
Gandhi has already initiated campaigning in Assam, where the polls are also coming, but there is no clarity of his joining campaign in West Bengal where the Left and the Congress have organised a joint rally.
Gandhi is invoking local issues in the states. In Assam, he made a strong anti-CAA pitch, assuring that Congress will work for the welfare of the people, and attacked the BJP over its divisive agenda.
In his earlier visits to Tamil Nadu, he attacked the BJP over the New Education Policy and the language issue which is a very emotive topic in the state.
Assembly Election in Tamil Nadu will happen in a single phase on April 6, 2021, along with Kerala.
