AMETHI’s BIKER BOYS

- by ASIT JOLLY

So accustomed are they to freebies during election time that Rahul Gandhi’s impatient youth brigade in Amethi has taken to milking the Aam Aadmi Party’s relatively meagre campaign funds. Kumar Vishwas, local youth Rajesh Pandey says, “pays Rs 500 per day for a motorbike and Rs 1,000 for fuel if you take a car to his poll rallies.” Young Congress supporters begin their day tanking up with money being handed out by AAP and then slink away an hour later to join Gandhi’s proxy campaign in the villages. Way to go.
