Karnal, September 20: In the early morning of Friday, September 20, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi made an unexpected visit to Ghogripur village in Haryana’s Karnal district. Arriving at 5 am, the Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition (LoP) visited the family of Amit, a young man from the village now residing in the US. During his brief stay, Rahul interacted with Amit’s family, fulfilling a personal promise he had made to the young man during his US tour.
Gandhi met Amit’s mother, Biramati, and father, Bir Singh, during his visit and helped them video call Amit. The visit was kept low-profile, with even local Congress leaders unaware of his arrival until he was already at the family’s home. The leader left the village after spending nearly two hours with them, fulfilling a personal promise made during his US visit. Now, let’s take a closer look at who Amit is and why Rahul Gandhi decided to visit his family.

Who Is Amit and Why Did Rahul Gandhi Visit His Family?
Amit Singh is a young man from Ghogripur village in Haryana who has been living in the US for the past year and a half. Tragically, he was involved in an accident while abroad, which led to serious injuries. During a recent trip to the US, Rahul Gandhi met Amit in person, where they discussed the challenges Amit faced following his accident. Rahul promised to visit Amit’s family upon his return to India.

When Rahul arrived unannounced at Amit’s home in Ghogripur, the visit took local Congress leaders by surprise, as even senior police officers had no prior knowledge of his plans. Villagers expressed their admiration for the gesture, noting how rare it is for a prominent leader to make such a personal visit. Amit’s family, particularly his mother, Biramati, was deeply moved by the attention and support from Gandhi, who took the time to inquire about their well-being and offered to assist them financially if needed.
Gandhi’s surprise visit to Amit’s family comes just weeks before Haryana’s Assembly elections on October 5, adding a personal touch to his outreach efforts. The unannounced stop has resonated deeply with the local community, showcasing his commitment to fulfilling promises and staying connected with the people.
