'Kuch nahi bachta hai': Rahul Gandhi visits local barber for a trim and his story

NEW DELHI: Leader of opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi made yet another visit to a local barber shop and heard about his ordeal. The Congress leader posted a video of his interaction with the barber on X to tell "the story of every hard-working poor and middle class person of India today".

In the video, Rahul was seen sitting on a chair, while the barber named Ajit trimmed his beard and shared his story.

Ajit told Rahul how he works throughout the day to save no money at the end of the day.

Sharing the video on social media platform Rahul wrote: "Kuch nahi bachta hai [No money left at the end of the day to save]! These four words of Ajit Bhai and his tears are telling the story of every hard-working poor and middle class person of India today. From barbers to cobbler, potters to carpenters - falling incomes and rising inflation have robbed those who work with their hands of their dreams of having their own shops, houses and even self-respect."

"What is needed today are modern solutions and new schemes that will increase income and bring back savings to homes. And, a society where talent gets its due and every step of hard work takes you up the ladder of success," he added.

"कुछ नहीं बचता है!"

अजीत भाई के ये चार शब्द और उनके आसूं आज भारत के हर मेहनतकश गरीब और मध्यमवर्गीय की कहानी बयां कर रहे हैं।

The Congress leader has time and again shared on social media several such interaction with local workers, including porters, cobblers and barbers.

During the Lok Sabha election campaign earlier this year, he visited a barber shop in Uttar Pradesh's Raebareli for a haircut and beard trim.

In the video, he was heard asking the barber about his working hours and where he picked up the skills.
