Padigel: Congress leader and MP, Rahul Gandhi, surprised many as he strayed into a roadside tea stall and made enquiries about the living conditions of the ordinary people in the region.

Rahul Gandhi on the Vijaya Bheri Bus Yatra reached Armoor on Friday from Jagtial district. En route, he halted at the tea stall and interacted with the elderly couple selling tea.

The elderly women in the family were surprised to see Rahul Gandhi from close quarters. The elderly couple received Rahul Gandhi with love and affection.  "We know you are the grandson of Indira Gandhi and son of Sonia Gandhi," the couple told him.

Asked as to how much they earn from selling tea, the elderly woman told the Congress leader that she was getting a monthly pension too, but these did not suffice to enable her to meet the family requirements.

Rahul Gandhi interacted with the



children of the family and gave them some chocolates. He asked about their studies. 

While giving a speech at a roadside meeting in Armoor town, Rahul Gandhi asked a woman her name. She replied that her name was Anita. Rahul Gandhi asked Anita, "Would you travel in RTC buses? "Yes," she replied.

"Well. I promise you that after the Congress party comes to power in Telangana, all women will get free travel facility in RTC buses," he said.

Youths in large numbers accompanied Rahul Gandhi on his Yatra. Many were busy videographing the speech of Rahul Gandhi in their mobile phones.
