On Sunday, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi paused his campaign efforts in Bihar to engage in a fishing trip in Begusarai district. Accompanied by former state minister Mukesh Sahni, Gandhi took to a boat reaching the center of a pond after addressing a public rally.
Sahni, a known advocate for the fisherman's community, showcased his skills by casting a net, impressing Gandhi who joined in the fishing activity while keeping his trademark attire intact. The attendance of local fishermen added charm to the event as they participated in the activity.
A video released by Congress on social media shows Gandhi interacting with the fishermen, discussing their challenges and highlighting the INDIA bloc's plans to support them with an insurance scheme for pisciculture and financial aid during fishing restrictions.
