Rahul Gandhi Gifts Automatic Shoe Stitching Machine

Rahul Gandhi, Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, made a significant gesture by gifting an automatic shoe stitching machine to cobbler Ram Chait, whom he met during a visit to Sultanpur, Uttar Pradesh. Gandhi's visit, initially for a court hearing related to a defamation case, included a stop at Chait's shop where they discussed the cobbler's trade and challenges. Following the visit, Gandhi sent an automatic shoe stitching machine to Chait, a move praised by netizens and highlighted by Congress as an example of Gandhi's dedication to supporting small business owners and the underprivileged. Chait, who has been a cobbler for over 40 years, expressed his gratitude, noting that the new machine would significantly improve his productivity. The interaction is part of Gandhi's broader efforts to engage with and support various small business owners across India.
