In a series of tweets, Shrinate wrote, “From university students to sportspersons, civil services aspirants, farmers, delivery partners, common people travelling in buses to now interacting with truck drivers in middle of the night, why is Rahul Gandhi interacting with all such people? Because, he wants to hear voice of people of the country, he wants to hear about the challenges that they face and he wants to understand their problems.”

The tweets added, “Looking at him doing all this poses a confidence among people that at least there is some one who is standing with them to make their lives better and to sacrifice his own life for their cause. Gradually, it is being felt that the country wants to return to the path of love and peace. Be it slowly, but the country has started to walk with Rahul Gandhi.”
A Congress spokesperson added, “According to certain media reports, there are around 90 lakh truck drivers across the country. Rahul Gandhi met a few of them and heard the issues that they face on a daily basis. These people, who work day and night, face immense problems and Rahul Gandhi interacted with them to know their issues.”
Rahul also paid obeisance at the Manji Sahib Gurdwara in Ambala city and interacted with local party workers.
