Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, currently campaigning in Bihar, has taken his election trail to a whole new level — quite literally. During his visit to Begusarai, the MP surprised everyone by diving straight into a village pond, leaving locals both shocked and amused.
The Moment That Left Everyone Speechless
Without a second thought or any safety support, Rahul Gandhi jumped off a boat and began swimming across the pond. The crowd around erupted in cheers, shouting his name in excitement.
As per eyewitnesses, it all started when Mukesh Sahani extended a hand to help him out of the boat. Instead, Rahul smiled and took a plunge into the water, joining the local fishermen. He not only swam but also attempted to catch fish alongside them — a move that drew huge applause from the villagers.
The scene quickly turned into a spectacle, with hundreds gathering to watch and record the moment.
Social Media Reactions: “All This for Votes?”
The viral video shared by Viral Bhayani on Instagram has set the internet abuzz. Reactions poured in from users across the country:
- “Unbelievable! Anything for votes!” one user commented.
- Another wrote, “People would’ve supported even without the dive.”
- A third added, “At least he did something new to connect with people.”
While some praised his spontaneity, others called it a publicity stunt ahead of the elections.
