In a heartwarming gesture, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, presented a brand-new motorcycle to Shubham Saurabh, a young man from Bihar’s Darbhanga district, whose two-wheeler was lost during the 'Voter Adhikar Yatra' campaign. The touching moment, captured in a video shared on the Congress party’s X handle, showcased Saurabh proudly holding the keys to his new motorcycle, personally handed over by Gandhi.
Saurabh recounted the incident that led to this generous act. During a bike rally organized as part of the Voter Adhikar Yatra in Darbhanga, he had lent his motorcycle to security personnel accompanying Gandhi. To his dismay, he later discovered that his bike had been misplaced. "I was distraught when I learned my bike was gone," Saurabh said, recalling the emotional toll of losing his valued possession.
Two days ago, Saurabh received an unexpected call from an unknown individual who informed him that Rahul Gandhi wished to meet him in Patna on September 1 to present him with a new motorcycle. Initially skeptical, Saurabh shared the news with his father, and the two decided to travel to the state capital, hoping the call was genuine. Their doubts were dispelled when they arrived at the Income Tax Roundabout, where Gandhi made a brief stop on his way to Gandhi Maidan, the culminating point of the Voter Adhikar Yatra march.

In a moment filled with gratitude, Gandhi personally handed over the keys to a brand-new motorcycle, identical to the model Saurabh had lost. The young man expressed his joy and disbelief at the gesture, stating, "I am thrilled to receive a brand-new motorcycle, the same model as the one I lost. I am deeply touched by this act from such a senior leader." The video shared by the Congress party captured Saurabh’s excitement as he flaunted the keys, his face beaming with pride and gratitude.
The Voter Adhikar Yatra, a campaign aimed at raising awareness about voter rights, concluded with a march in Patna, drawing significant attention across Bihar. Gandhi’s act of compassion added a personal touch to the campaign, resonating with supporters and locals alike. For Saurabh, the gesture was more than just a replacement—it was a symbol of empathy and leadership from one of India’s prominent political figures.
This act of kindness underscores Gandhi’s commitment to connecting with people on a personal level, leaving a lasting impression on Saurabh and his family. As the video of the handover spreads across social media, it highlights a moment of goodwill amid the political fervor of the Voter Adhikar Yatra, reinforcing the Congress leader’s image as a leader who cares for the common man.
