Former Congress party president Rahul Gandhi turned 51 on Saturday. He was flooded with wishes from party leaders and workers. However, the Congress leader and Lok Sabha MP decided not to celebrate in view of the Covid-19 pandemic. Instead, he celebrated the day by distributing ration kits among the needy and organising vaccination camps.

The Indian Youth Congress, in a statement, said the day was observed as ‘Sewa Diwas’, when financial assistance would be offered to the unemployed and disabled people. The Delhi Congress also distributed masks, medicine kits and cooked meals to the poor in the national capital.

“Ration distribution programmes were organised at many places in Delhi. Free vaccination camps were also set up for citizens across the country. Also, financial assistance is being provided to citizens who have lost their jobs due to Covid-19 and to the physically challenged,” said Youth Congress president Srinivas B V.

Meanwhile, party workers also distributed ration to women cab drivers and organised a free vaccination camp for sex workers at GB Road in Delhi.

All India Congress Committee general secretary KC Venugopal said Rahul Gandhi provided “all possible help to the countrymen in such a dire situation” during the pandemic.

The Congress’ Delhi unit president Anil Kumar Chaudhary distributed food packets, clothes, masks, and medicine kits to students at Andh Mahavidyalaya in Panchkuian Road. “Congress has always put service as its main aim and under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi, the party’s focus during the pandemic has been serving people,” Chaudhary said.
