Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on arrived in the UK to kick off his week-long tour with an address at the University of Cambridge.
The Wayanad MP, who is a Visiting Fellow of the Cambridge Judge Business School (Cambridge JBS), is scheduled to deliver a student-only lecture at the university on the subject of ‘Learning to Listen in the 21st Century’ on Wednesday.
Ahead of his tour, during which he will also interact with the Indian diaspora in London, Rahul Gandhi, 52, was seen with some students with a new look.
In the pictures now going viral on social media, Gandhi is seen without his long beard and hair, which he had grown during his Bharat Jodo Yatra.
Several people had praised the former Congress chief’s “coming-of-age” look after the end of his 145-day-long foot march from Kanyakumari to Kashmir.
“The beard has given him (Rahul Gandhi) a certain degree of seriousness,” Prahlad Kakkar, an advertising industry veteran, had told news agency PTI after the 4,000 km Bharat Jodo Yatra concluded in Srinagar.
