Congress leader Rahul Gandhi appears in a new avatar as he arrived in the UK on a week-long tour. He has trimmed his hair and his Bharat Jodo Yatra beard and was seen in suit-tie instead of his white t-shirt as he began his address at the University of Cambridge on the topic: Learning to listen in the 21st century. Several Congress leaders shared those photos of Rahul Gandhi’s new look on social media.
Rahul Gandhi’s appearance went through a drastic change during the five months of the Bharat Jodo Yatra as the Congress MP was always seen in a white t-shirt. His beard also grew in the five months as he decided not to shave during the yatra. All these contributed to the theory that Rahul Gandhi underwent a conscious image makeover.
Congress leader Pawan Khera recently said he was asked about Rahul Gandhi’s beard – when Rahul Gandhi will be shaving his beard. In fact, Rahul Gandhi too faced this question earlier and he said it was because of the yatra and now that the yatra ended, he would think about it.
