Regarding his interaction with porters, Gandhi mentioned, “I had met Rameshwar ji, a vegetable vendor, a few days ago. As soon as news of this reached others, some porter colleagues requested a meeting. As soon as I had the opportunity, I reached the Anand Vihar Terminal in Delhi. I met them and had extensive discussions, through which I gained a closer understanding of their lives and the challenges they face,” as conveyed in a statement released by the party.
