Bike Servicing with Super Mechanics of Karol Bagh, Rahul Gandhi shares his experience.
The Bharat Jodo Yatra was all about learning by listening to the voices of all sections of Indians, especially those who haven’t been able to tell their stories of Triumphs and Travails. The next pitstop of this journey was at the Biker’s market in Karol Bagh, New Delhi where he met a group of super mechanics, and had open and candid conversations with these hard-working men who keep the wheels of Bharat moving. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi visited Delhi’s Karol Bagh and interacted with mechanics, discussing the hardships they face in their profession.
The 12-minute clip shot on June 27 captured the 53-year-old leader learning how to service a bike while he answered “let us see” when asked about his marriage and revealed that he has a KTM 390 bike but his security officials do not
Rahul Gandhi tweeted, “to strengthen the automobile industry of India, there is a need to empower the mechanics of India”He termed the visit as the “next pit stop” of the “Bharat Jodo Yatra” and said that he made an “effort to understand the difficulties and know the dreams of mechanics” in the country.
“Our mechanics toil to sustain the automobile industry — they deserve access to better facilities and the best opportunities. In the prosperity and well-being of every individual and worker of every profession lies Bharat’s true progress,” he added.
Umed Shah, a senior mechanic, told me how poverty had forced him to stop his studies and become a mechanic, like his elder brother, decades ago. Manoj Paswan and Vicky Sen told me how the meagre returns of their profession worried them everyday, because of the responsibilities of family life. I saw many others facing similar problems, working hard to make ends meet, even at the cost of their health. Our mechanics toil to sustain the automobile industry – they deserve access to better facilities and the best opportunities. In the prosperity and well-being of every individual and workers of every profession lies Bharat’s true progress he added.
