The car was gathering speed and the girl extended her hand to Rahul but was pushed away by the security personnel. A Congress worker from western Maharashtra, however, was luckier. He managed to run alongside the car and to his delight, Rahul quickly shook his hand. &quot;I have been dreaming for the last 25 years to shake hand with someone from the Gandhi family. Today, that dream has been fulfilled,&quot; he was heard saying to other party men. u00a0
