Edathala: Spotting a 10-year-old boy waiting
to greet him with flowers, Congress General Secretary Rahul
Gandhi, on a brief unscheduled visit to Kerala on Saturday, did not
disappoint his young fan and obliged with an autograph.
Shaji, along with some elders from this sleepy village,
had been waiting near the venue soon after hearing that the
VVIP had come there.
Gandhi had visited a camp here to hear and address the
elected members of Kerala Students Union.
On his way back to the airport, Rahul spotted the seventh
standard student with a bunch of flowers along with some
others, including elderly women.
The Gandhi scion stopped the vehicle, went up to the boy
and accepted the flowers with an advice -- "study well" and
acknowledged the greetings of the people.
An excited Shaji said he was elated.
