Congress leader Rahul Gandhi donned a mask of 'Bajrang Bali' and held a 'gada' (mace) in his hand to pose with a few artists amid the ongoing 'Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra' on Friday. A video shared by news agency ANI showed Gandhi participating "in a cultural program during his visit to Sri Sri Auniati Satra in Majuli in Assam".

       "At the request of the people, he wore the mask of 'Bajrang Bali' and held a mace in his hand," ANI reported while tweeting the video that shows Gandhi donning a mask and holding a mace in his hand.

       Meanwhile, the Assam Congress tweeted images showing the Congress MP posing with a few people wearing the same 'Bajrang Bali' masks. "Rahul Gandhi Ji promoting the traditional art of mask making, celebrating neo-vaishnavite culture of Majuli, celebrating #UnityInDiversity," the post read.
