Rahul Gandhi was videographed leaving Parliament on Friday after attending a meeting of the Congress party in Mallikarjun Kharge's chamber. While leaving, Rahul Gandhi assisted Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge at the staircase.
"If I touch you now, they say I'm wiping my nose on your back. Utter nonsense. Have you seen that? That I am helping you over there, they're saying that I'm wiping my nose on you," said Congress MP Rahul Gandhi as he helped party chief Mallikarjun Kharge down the stairs.
