‘Have a KTM 390 but…’: Rahul Gandhi’s interaction with bike Karol Bagh bike mechanics

Gandhi was later seen in the video assisting two mechanics with the maintenance work of a Honda motorbike while talking to them about their aspirations.

“If a person is not a mechanic then they are usually not aware of what goes behind the repairing of a vehicle, what troubles you face. I just wanted to learn how you guys work here,” Gandhi said.

Addressing the conditions the mechanics work in, Gandhi said their kids don’t want to follow their father’s profession. If provided a conducive atmosphere for growth, Gandhi asked them what would be the next step for them. “Hero Honda was established by Honda who was a mechanic. Tell me of a mechanic who started his own company in India? The potential and capability you have are not opening doors for you. Your talent is not being appreciated,” Gandhi said.

“We never thought that we would sit and have tea with Rahul Gandhi. He has knowledge of bikes as well and I was very happy to meet him,” one mechanic said. Another appreciated his work with the Bharat Jodo Yatra and his interest in their lives and understanding their troubles while not breaching the topic of politics during interaction.
