Congress leader Rahul Gandhi appears in a stunning new avatar on his week-long United Kingdom tour. He has arrived in the UK to deliver a lecture on ‘Learning to listen in the 21st century’ at Cambridge University. The leader has trimmed his hair and the famous Bharat Jodo Yatra’s beard and is spotted in a formal (shirt and tie look) instead of his white t-shirt.

Ahead of his new look, several party leaders shared Rahul Gandhi’s photos on their social media.

Rahul Gandhi BJY’s transformation

Congress leader Gandhi’s appearance has seen a drastic change during the five months of the Bharat Jodo Yatra as he was always seen in a white t-shirt. His beard also grew in the five months as he decided not to shave during the same. Taking notes from his look, all these contributed to the theory that Rahul Gandhi underwent a conscious image makeover. Several opposition leaders have criticized his transformation.
