Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday visited Asia's largest furniture market in Delhi's Kirti Nagar and met carpenters. Gandhi interacted with them and also tried his hands at making some furniture items. Congress shared a post on X, formerly Twitter, with Gandhi's photos where he could be seen using carpentry tools and having a discussion with the workers.


"The Bharat Jodo Yatra is still on," the party said, adding that the leader interacted with the carpenters and heard their problems.






The Congress MP also took to X and shared his experience of meeting with workers from Kirti Nagar's furniture market. "Today I went to Asia's largest furniture market located in Kirti Nagar, Delhi and met the carpenter brothers. Apart from being hard workers, they are also amazing artists – experts at carving durability and beauty," Gandhi said.


"We talked a lot, got to know a little about their skills and tried to learn a bit," the former Congress chief added.






According to PTI, this is the third such occasion when the Congress MP has tried connecting with local people in Delhi. He met fruit and vegetable vendors in Azadpur Mandi in August and more recently spoke to the porters at the Anand Vihar railway station.
