On the Bharat Jodo yatra in Telangana, a picture of Congressman rahul gandhi clutching actor Poonam Kaur's hand has gone viral on social media. The actress has now explained why the Congressman grabbed her hand. She claimed that during the Bharat Jodo yatra, gandhi held her hand when she nearly "slipped and collapsed." The actor tweeted, "This is utterly degrading of you. Remember prime minister spoke about #narishakti - I almost slid and tumbled that's how sir held my hand.


The actor reacted to Priti gandhi of the BJP's tweet that included rahul and Kaur. The bjp leader tweeted, "Following in the footsteps of his great grandfather!" After Priti gandhi posted the image to Twitter, several users vented their anger and frustration.

Priyanka Chaturvedi, the leader of the shiv sena, defended the "grandfather's" "footsteps." "If you mean, it leads to women walking shoulder to shoulder with men&hand in hand to strengthen & take the nation forward, then not only will Pandit Nehru's vision of india but also Babasaheb Ambedkar's & the freedom fighters' dream of equal india be realised," the shiv sena leader wrote in a tweet. Kindly take a seat.
