Earlier this month, while campaigning for the Karnataka Assembly Elections, Gandhi interacted with college students and women at a Bengaluru Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) bus stop. He also spoke to the women passengers inside one of the BMTC buses.
During his time in Karnataka, Gandhi held a chat with the gig workers and delivery partners in Bengaluru. Gandhi heard the plight of gig workers and had masala dosas and coffee along with them at a restaurant. Gandhi was also seen hopping on a two-wheeler as a pillion rider to reach his hotel in the city.
In late April, Gandhi interacted with civil services aspirants in Delhi's Mukherjee Nagar. A video shared by news agency ANI showed the former Lok Sabha member holding a discussion with a bunch of aspirants for the top government jobs.
