Rahul Gandhi, the former Lok Sabha MP, visited motorcycle mechanics' workshops in Karol Bagh on Tuesday. This was part of his surprise visits in recent months, which he has been doing since the culmination of his 4,000-kilometer Bharat Jodo Yatra.
In the workshops, Gandhi sat alongside the mechanics and interacted with them. He has also visited other working-class settings in recent months, such as riding in a truck from Washington DC to New York with a Punjabi truck driver, and taking a late-night truck ride from Delhi to Chandigarh with a Punjabi driver.Gandhi's visits to these workshops and his interactions with working-class people are seen as an attempt to connect with the masses and understand their problems. They are also seen as a way to project himself as a leader who is concerned about the welfare of the common people.
It remains to be seen whether these visits will help Gandhi to improve his image and electoral prospects. However, they have certainly generated a lot of interest and discussion among the public.
