Mr Rahul Gandhi's heartwarming interactions with the public during Bharat Jodo Yatra continues to make headlines and garner attention. In a recent video shared on Twitter by the Congress party, Mr Gandhi, who is a black belt in Aikido, was seen sharing a light moment with a bunch of children who love karate. The 23-second video shows a little boy enthusiastically showing off his karate punches and Mr Gandhi patiently correcting and teaching him the right technique. At the end of the video, Mr Gandhi flashes a smile, and encourages the boy, saying, ''Good.''

"If the technique is wrong, the country goes on to the path of destruction. And this is the question of the future of the children. Rahul Gandhi showing the right technique to a child," the Congress said according to the English translation of the tweet posted in Hindi.

Previously, the Congress leader was seen helping two women who got injured while on the march as part of his procession in Telangana. In a video of the incident, Mr Gandhi was seen helping one of them stand back up, while checking for injury for the other.
