The boy also told Gandhi that his school did not have a computer.

The Congress leader mentioned his encounter with Sarvesh in his speech at a rally on Thursday evening.

The party later posted a video on social media of Gandhi sitting on the side of a road with Sarvesh and his friend showing them his own tablet and how to use it.

"Congress president Shri@Kharge, in presence of @RahulGandhi handed over a PC to Sarvesh Hatne, a young tech enthusiast and padyatrim. A little gesture from our end to help him discover more," the party said in a post.
