An independent reporter visited the barber shop a day after Rahul Gandhi paid a visit to the "humble" shop in Rae Bareli. The video of Rahul's visit to the barber shop was aimed at projecting Rahul Gandhi as the "humble" and "down to earth leader" ahead of voting in UP's Rae Bareli, the Congress bastion from where Rahul is contesting this time.
However, the fresh video shows the same barber being unsure about voting for the Congress or Rahul. The young man denying to confirm on mic if he will vote for the Congress leader elicited response from netizens.
Rahul Gandhi is contesting from Rae Bareli Lok Sabha seat this time after losing from Amethi and winning from Wayanad last time. The Congress leader chose to contest from the Rae Bareli Lok Sabha seat this time which has been a Congress bastion for close to two decades now. Rahul's mother Sonia Gandhi has been the MP from this seat from 2004 onwards and has represented the constituency a total of five times since 2004. However, this time she had announced before the polls that she would not be contesting the Lok Sabha elections.
