There is news for those of Rahul Gandhi's female fans who didn't like his bearded look --- the scion to the Gandhi legacy is clean shaven again.

When Rahul Gandhi arrived in Uttar Pradesh on Tuesday, along with American business magnate, philanthropist and chairman of Microsoft, Bill Gates, the politician sported a clean-shaven look.

Since last week, Gandhi scion’s beard had been a topic of discussion, especially amongst women in the cyber world. He has had a stubble for months, but never a beard before.

Rahul Gandhi had debuted his bearded look in the Parliament last week.

Ironically, while urban women were the ones vehemently discussing Rahul Gandhi's beard, it was the rural population UP who saw him first without his beard.
