Donning a white t-shirt, Rahul Gandhi’s look-alike Faisal Chaudhary has become an attraction of the Bharat Jodo Yatra with people eager to get themselves clicked with him.

Faisal is the most ‘clicked’ man after Mr. Gandhi in Bharat Jodo Yatra which is in its last leg. His video clips and pictures have gone viral on social media where he can be seen marching along with other yatris.

“People come to me and take pictures and videos with me. I love it,” said Faisal, who joined the yatra on January 5 from Baghpat at Uttar Pradesh-Delhi border.

He said that it is people’s love for Rahul Gandhi that they take pictures with him. “People love Rahul Ji. That is why they take pictures and videos with me, when they are unable to meet Rahul Ji,” he said.

“I feel lucky to be Rahul ji’s look-alike. As a party activist, my face resembles my top party leader’s. But I will always be his activist,” he added.

Faisal, who has a brown beard like Mr. Gandhi, is a resident of Sangat village of Meerat district and is a worker of the Congress party in Uttar Pradesh.
