Congress party leader Rahul Gandhi is currently leading the Bharat Jodo Yatra in the southern part of India. While most of the trip is about walking the trail, the national party leader was recently seen riding a Royal Enfield Classic 500 Desert Storm during the rally. The video of the leader riding a motorcycle was widely shared and went viral on social media platforms. During the yatra, the political leader will walk from South India to North India, covering most major cities and rural areas of the country.
In the video shared by Indian National Congress member Srinivas BV on Twitter, Rahul Gandhi can be seen riding a Royal Enfield Classic 500. The video was shared on the micro-blogging site with the caption, “When Rahul Gandhi rides a bullet…”

Given how unusual it is for a politician to ride a motorcycle, the video of Rahul Gandhi riding the Royal Enfield Classic 500 Desert Storm quickly gained popularity on social media. Many online users are interested in this video. While some are appreciating the political leader’s decency, many are accusing him of playing a publicity stunt.
One of the most sought after motorcycles from the renowned neo-retro motorcycle brand was the Royal Enfield Classic 500. The Classic 500, which was positioned above the Classic 350, shared the same body panels as the Classic 350. The Classic 500, however, received a larger engine than the Classic 350, with a 499cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine, which at one time was the largest single-cylinder Royal Enfield engine.
