Thanks to Rahul Gandhi’s help
When sprinter Antony Felix, 12, of Paraicode near here received a pair of sports shoes from Congress leader Rahul Gandhi as he had promised the boy a sports kit during his recent electioneering in Kanniyakumari district, it received a lot of media attention. Now, without much media glare, Mr. Rahul has fulfilled another promise he had made to a class 5 girl student from Marthandam.
When, Mr. Rahul had addressed the students of St. Joseph’s Matriculation Higher Secondary School at Mulagumoodu near Nagercoil during his visit on March 1, he had told the students that a boy who he had met at Paraicode had sought his help for visiting a facility of Indian Space Research Organisation. “I’ve promised him,” Mr. Rahul said amidst cheers from the students.
