Watch: Rahul Gandhi's Kind Gesture For Mallikarjun Kharge! Opens Water Bottle & Pours It In Glass For Congress Chief

A heartwarming act by Rahul Gandhi, a Congress leader and Wayanad MP, is capturing the attention of the internet on Wednesday. A video shared by Congress social media head Supriya Shrinate showcases Rahul Gandhi's kind gesture towards Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge. In the video, Rahul Gandhi assists Kharge by pouring water into a glass for him, as Kharge faced difficulty in opening the bottle.

The video reportedly originates from an event in Karnataka where the two leaders launched the state government's Gruha Lakshmi Scheme in Mysuru earlier today. The touching moment unfolds as 81-year-old Kharge and Gandhi sit together on stage. When Kharge struggles with opening a water bottle, Gandhi, seated beside him, promptly offers to help. Gandhi not only opens the bottle but also pours water into a glass and presents it to Kharge.

Shrinate, tweeting the video, wrote, "Kindness and respect for elders are qualities that are part of personality. Rahul ji is a very nice person - this is reflected in his nature."
