During a visit to a local barber shop, Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi expressed concern over the challenges faced by India’s working class, citing declining incomes and rising inflation as major issues affecting their lives. Gandhi engaged in a conversation with a barber named Ajit, highlighting the everyday struggles of hardworking people and advocating for new policies to support them.
Gandhi shared a video of this interaction on social media platform VX, where he is seen speaking with the barber while getting a shave. In his post, he emphasized the impact of inflation on the poor and middle class, quoting Ajit’s words, “There is nothing left now!” and noting that these words, accompanied by the barber’s tears, reflect the reality for many.

Gandhi’s message focused on the importance of supporting India’s working class, urging for policy changes to provide relief from the economic pressures they face daily. His visit and message have sparked discussions about the need for economic reforms to aid low-income families.
