A dramatic scene unfolded on Sunday during Rahul Gandhi’s Voter Adhikar Yatra in Bihar’s Purnea district when an excited guy managed to reach the Congress leader. The man started to hug and kiss Gandhi on the cheek. Security staff quickly intervened and pushed him away. The moment was caught on camera and widely circulated on social media, raising questions about a possible lapse in Rahul Gandhi’s security.
An ex sanghi frustrated with modi ji was so mesmerised by the Aura of Rahul Gandhi that he literally kissed him during the #VoterAdhikarYatra.
He got slapped brutally as soon as the security guard figured out that he was a sanghi in past🔥

Rahul Gandhi, joined by RJD’s Tejashwi Yadav, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, Mukesh Sahani, and CPI(ML) leader Dipankar Bhattacharya, resumed the yatra from Purnea on its eighth day. The leaders were welcomed with a tribal dance, as performers swayed to the beats of mandar and dhol.
During the roadshow, Rahul Gandhi rode a Bullet motorcycle for nearly two kilometres, with state Congress chief Rajesh Ram seated behind him. Tejashwi Yadav followed on another motorcycle with his security personnel. On the way to Araria.
The Voter Adhikar Yatra, launched on 17 August from Sasaram, will cover more than 20 districts in 16 days and is scheduled to conclude in Patna on 1 September with a large rally.
