As he waits for his pav bhaji, Rahul Gandhi shakes hands with people gathered around the stall
Beginning the phase 2 of the Congress' campaign in Gujarat, its president-to-be Rahul Gandhi addressed multiple rallies this afternoon in the state. So, as he arrived in Tarapur, the 47-year-old decided to take a small break for a quick bite, and was spotted at a local
pav bhaji stall.
In a video that has been tweeted by news agency ANI, Mr Gandhi is seen waiting patiently at the stall, smiling, while the
bhaji is being freshly prepared on the hot pan. He can be seen rolling up his sleeves in anticipation while surrounded by dozens of supporters.

Mr Gandhi's Congress is engaged in an uphill battle in Gujarat where it hopes to dismantle the 22-year-long BJP reign. Ahead of the 2019 national election, Mr Gandhi hopes to begin reversing the trend of his party losing state elections with Gujarat.
Voting will be held for 89 of the state's 182 assembly seats in Saurashtra and south Gujarat tomorrow. The second phase of polling will take place on December 14 and votes will be counted on December 18.
