Communicate with the common man and be law abiding

Wherever Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi went, he directly talked to common people. There were no party workers; he asked people about the NAREGA and public distribution system (PDS). He asked them about the flood relief and tried to know whether the local MPs and representatives were available to them or not. Congress General Secretary even asked the name of those Congress workers who helped people during the flood. It is obvious that after this visit, MPs and party leaders are more alert now.

Though it may sound out of context, but Rahul Gandhi has tried to revive the old tradition of going to people secretly and know their problems. Unfortunately, in modern day democracy, leaders have, it seems, forgot their utmost duty towards the people. Rahul Gandhi is trying to fill the ever widening gap between leaders and the people.

Congress General Secretary also ate jalebi at a roadside shop. In fact, he desires to experience and behave like a commoner.

At one place, he even paid toll tax and when the tax collecting staff got to know that this person is a VVIP like Rahul Gandhi he was dismayed. But Congress General Secretary did not mind, for he believes in abiding with the law. He believes that he is part of the society, not above them. This is the Rahul mantra for the new breed of politicians.
