Congress leader Rahul Gandhi Wednesday visited and spoke at the Bharathidasan Government College for Women during his two-day visit to Puducherry. Gandhi was in the union territory to launch his party's campaign ahead of the assembly polls. During his candid interaction with the students, Gandhi urged the jubilant crowd to refer him to as "Rahul" and not "Sir".
"Listen, my name is not Sir. My name is Rahul. So call me Rahul, please. You can call your principal 'sir', you can call your teachers 'sir', you call me Rahul," the Congress leader told the cheering crowd. There was, however, a moment from the interaction that went viral on social media when a student approached Gandhi for his autograph. Visibly excited to meet him, the young girl was overcome with emotions. Gandhi embraced the student and asked her to pose for the cameras.
