Prior to the scooter ride, the Congress leader interacted with the students of Maharani College. Reportedly, Gandhi distributed two-wheelers to meritorious students.

Earlier today, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, Convener of Core Committee for state polls Sukhjinder Randhawa, party's State Unit Chief Govind Singh Dotasra received Gandhi at the Jaipur airport.

Gandhi, accompanied by Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge, laid the foundation stone of the new building of the Pradesh Congress Committee. The duo addressed a public rally in the state ahead of the elections this year.

According to a PTI report, the Congress leader while addressing a speech to the party workers spoke about the caste census and questioned why Prime Minister Narendra Modi was "afraid" of it as well. He further demanded the immediate implementation of the Women's Reservation Bill for women in Lok Sabha and state assemblies.

He said, "as soon as I started raising the issue of caste census in Parliament, BJP MPs tried to suppress my voice. There is an ideological fight going on between the BJP and the Congress."

Earlier on Thursday, Gandhi was seen carrying a suitcase with wheels on his head during his visit to Anand Vihar Railway Station in the national capital.

The Congress leader was seen interacting with the porters at the station. However, this sparked controversy among the opposition. Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan mocked the Congress leader by saying, "I am surprised. What does the future hold for a party whose leader carries a suitcase with wheels on his head (instead of pulling it)."
