Rahul Gandhi Receives Grandfather's Lost Driving Licence
Rahul Gandhi, a leader in India's Congress party, was visiting his hometown of Rae Bareli.
During his visit, a local man named Vikas Singh gave him a very old driving licence that belonged to Rahul's grandfather, Feroze Gandhi.
The licence had been kept safe by Vikas's family for many years.
They decided to return it when they heard Rahul was coming to town.
This was a special moment for the Gandhi family, and Rahul even shared a picture of the licence with his mother, Sonia Gandhi.
Meanwhile, some posters in the city showed Rahul and another political leader, Akhilesh Yadav, in cricket uniforms, which made people think there might be a political alliance between their parties for future elections.
