The caption of the photo - which catures the heartwarming moment between the girl and Rahul - reads: "Could walk a thousand miles for a moment like this.❤️"

On Wednesday, the party had shared videos of Gandhi leading the 'Bharat Jodo Yatra' and being greeted joyfully by a young girl.

"No caption needed. Only love," the party wrote as it tweeted the video.

The video showed the young girl bursting into tears after being allowed to join Gandhi on his march. Shedding tears of joy, she is comforted by him and he says, "Don't cry."
