Dist Cong decides to gift new cycle to 6-yr-old Amritpal Singh

The District Congress Committee on Tuesday decided to provide a new bicycle to six-year-old Amritpal Singh after their leader Rahul Gandhi, LoP in the Lok Sabha, promised to replace his old and damaged bicycle.

During his visit to flood-ravaged villages in Amritsar’s Ajnala and Gurdaspur on Monday, Rahul visited the house of Ravidas Singh at Ghonewal village in Ramdas area of Ajnala.

He found Amritpal Singh weeping while standing over a bed in his house. Gandhi embraced him and tried to calm him down. To cheer him up, he called him a brave boy and promised to gift him a new cycle.

Amritsar MP Gurjeet Singh Aujla, who is a Congress leader, said they would provide a new bicycle to the young boy as his party leader promised the child a new one. Currently, he said, the entire district Congress committee was busy in providing relief to flood victims, receiving dignitaries and taking them to affected areas.

The incident reminded locals of the August 27 political roadshow by the Congress in Bihar’s Darbhanga where dhaba owner Shubham complained of losing his bike due to the roadshow. Later, Rahul compensated him by gifting a brand-new Pulsar motorcycle.
