Sultanpur (UP)/IBNS: Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi Friday stopped briefly at a cobbler's shop on his way back to Lucknow from Sultanpur where he had gone to appear before a court in connection with a defamation case.

The cobbler in Vidhayak Nagar on the outskirts of Sultanpur was pleasantly surprised with the unexpected visit of the Congress leader.

Gandhi stopped at the shop of cobbler Ram Chet and spoke to him about his family and his problems.

Speaking to the media, Chet said Gandhi visited his shop without any prior information and stopped for nearly half-an-hour during which he enquired about his family and problems encountered by him.

Chet said he offered cold drinks to Gandhi and both drank together.

The cobbler is reported to have sought assistance to expand the work.
