Leader of Opposition and Rae Bareli MP Rahul Gandhi has once again sent a gift to Chetram, a cobbler from Sultanpur. This time goods worth lakhs have been sent by Rahul. Chetram, who operates a small shop in Vidhayak Nagar, Guptarganj town, Kurebhar development block, saw a stroke of good fortune on July 26 last when Rahul Gandhi visited him while returning from a court appearance. For the second time this month, Rahul Gandhis team arrived at Chetrams shop on Monday with raw materials worth lakhs for making shoes and slippers. Previously, Chetram had received similar raw materials. Overjoyed by Rahuls gift, Chetram shared that he received a call at 11 pm on Sunday informing him that Rahul Gandhis team would deliver goods to him the following day at 11 am. Unable to contain his excitement, Chetram eagerly awaited the delivery. He even displayed a photo of himself and his son with Rahul Gandhi at his shop. Around 2 pm on Monday, a vehicle accompanied by a police escort reached Chetrams shop. The team members, identifying themselves as part of Rahul Gandhis team, delivered four cartons filled with essential materials for shoe-making, including thread, glue, leather, rexine, shoe soles, and more. This contribution will significantly help Chetram expand his business, enabling him to produce footwear for both men and women. It is notable that on July 26, while in Sultanpur for a court case related to Amit Shahs defamation suit, Rahul Gandhi had met Chetram at his kiosk. During the visit, Rahul Gandhi observed Chetrams shoe-making process, personally stitched a slipper, and glued a shoe. Despite the value of the shoes and slippers he made—estimated at up to Rs 10 lakh—Chetram chose not to sell them. Subsequently, Rahul Gandhis team sent him a shoe-stitching machine to help advance his business.
