GG News Bureau

Chandigarh, 8th July. Rahul Gandhi, the Congress leader, paid an unplanned visit to Haryana’s Sonipat area on Saturday, where he talked with people and spent time with farmers working on agricultural grounds.

According to a top state party leader, he also helped with paddy sowing.

Gandhi arrived in Sonipat’s Madina village early Saturday.

“It was an impromptu visit … He interacted with the villagers and the farmers working in the fields. Rahulji also took part in paddy sowing and drove a tractor,” Jagbeer Singh Malik, said the Congress’ MLA from Gohana in Sonipat.

Malik, who was present at the spot, said Gandhi was probably on his way to Himachal Pradesh from Delhi.

Gandhi was dressed in his trademark white t-shirt and pants in images shared from the Congress’ official account. He was also making his way into the fields with the peasants.

On Friday, Gujarat High Court dismissed Gandhi’s plea seeking a stay on his conviction in a criminal defamation case over his “Modi surname” remark.

On May 23, Gandhi drove from Delhi to Chandigarh in a truck to listen to truck drivers’ issues.

He traveled during the night, and in photos and videos, the former Congress chief was seen sitting inside a truck, traveling with a driver, and conversing with drivers at a dhaba while wearing his distinctive white t-shirt.
