Running Alongside Rahul Gandhi Was a Privilege.. Says Mahesh Kumar Goud

Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) president Mahesh Kumar Goud said walking and running alongside Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, was a matter of great pride for him. Speaking to the media on the sidelines of the Bharat Summit, he explained why he was seen running during the gig workers’ rally. He said the bike he was riding skidded, forcing him to move back to get onto another bike. He then ran forward to rejoin Rahul Gandhi, who had noticed his absence and called him. Goud said he was fit enough to run and questioned why opposition leaders were making an issue out of it. He added that he discussed national and international developments with Rahul and received his feedback on Sonia Gandhi’s book.

Goud also revealed that he had suggested Rahul Gandhi try wearing a kurta-pyjama, saying the outfit would suit him. Rahul appeared in the traditional attire during the closing ceremony of the Bharat Summit, following the suggestion. Goud further said Sonia Gandhi’s autobiography would be translated into Telugu within the next three months. He plans to purchase copies and distribute them among leaders from different political parties, officials and journalists, including BRS chief K. Chandrashekar Rao. He also said Rahul Gandhi enjoys Hyderabad’s tea and bun maska and has shown concern for the issues faced by gig workers.
