Meerut: Bharat Jodo Yatra has been hogging the limelight ever since it was launched from Kanyakumari on September 7, 2022. But this time, it is in talks for a very unique reason as a lookalike of Rahul Gandhi was spotted in the UP leg of the Yatra with people taking selfies with him. The lookalike had joined the Yatra in Delhi as well but it was in UP that he caught the attention of the people.
Rahul Gandhi's doppelganger, Faisal Choudhary, is a Congress member himself. He has been associated with the Congress party for 3 years now. A resident of village Shoddat in Parikshitgarh, Meerut, Choudhary is a farmer and the eldest of four brothers. With his stark resemblance to the Congress leader and MP Rahul Gandhi, he is fondly called Rahul in his hometown.
In a candid conversation with ETV Bharat, Faisal bares open on his new-found fame and future aspirations. Ecstatic over people coming up to him, shaking his hand and taking selfies, Choudhary admitted that it definitely feels good. People on spotting him, raised slogans of Rahul Gandhi zindabad, Congress Party zindabad and even asked him to offer garlands of flowers on statutes of dignitaries, mistaking him for Gandhi.
