As a token of appreciation for his skill, Rahul Gandhi has sent a gifts to Mithun to help him grow his business. Sources said that on Thursday, some Congressmen reached Mithun's shop and presented him with the salon items sent by Rahul Gandhi. The items included a shampoo chair, two hair cutting chairs and an inverter battery. Expressing his gratitude for the gift, Mithun said that it was an honour for him to host a leader like Rahul Gandhi at his salon. Mithun's wife Sita also expressed her delight after coming to know about Rahul Gandhi's gift.
Business Triples After Rahul Gandhi's Gift
Expressing gratitude to the Congress leader for the helping hand, Mithun said, “Because of Rahul Sir, our business has tripled today”.
“Earlier we used to go home by evening, but now the shop remains crowded till late night. We will never forget the day Rahul Gandhi visited us. I have four brothers, three sisters and parents. I have been running this shop here since 2021,” Mithun said.
Sumit Kumar, a customer who came to the shop for a shave, said that ever since Rahul Gandhi visited Mithun's shop, his business has seen considerable growth.
“Customers are coming to him even after 7:00 pm. We are happy that our MP is Rahul Gandhi and we voted for him and made him win. Rahul Gandhi keeps helping people, big and small. He did something similar in Sultanpur too,” Kumar said while referring to Rahul's help to Sultanpur cobbler Ram Chait whom the Congress leader visited at his shop in July.
