They tweeted, \"One who doesn't belong to their workers, what will become of the public?\" The video showed Gandhi surrounded by hundreds of party workers, including his sister Priyanka Gandhi and AISA president Neha Bora, marching towards the Supreme Court.\n\nDuring the march, Gandhi is seen elbowing a young man walking beside him, seemingly instructing him to move aside. However, he continues walking without acknowledging the incident. Later, in another clip, Gandhi is seen pulling Karnataka Chief Minister DK Shivakumar by the collar as the two march together through the crowded procession.

The incident was met with widespread criticism, with social media users condemning Gandhi's behavior and calling it unacceptable and disgraceful.",
