After Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s masterstroke of demonetising Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes, thousands of people queued up outside ATMs and banks to exchange and withdraw money.

Rahul Gandhi is one among those who are standing in a queue outside SBI on Parliament Street. Reportedly, he was there to feel the pain of people who are struggling because of the demonetization.

While speaking to the reporters he said: “Poor people are in trouble, I am here to get Rs 4, 000 exchanged. Neither you (reporters) nor your crorepati owners nor the Prime Minister will understand the problems faced by people. Poor people are in trouble, I am here to get Rs 4,000 exchanged”

“Can you see anybody here who is high and mighty? Only the troubled common people are here. But how does it matter to Modiji ?” he added. After reaching the SBI’s Parliament Street branch at around 4.25 p.m., he waited for his turn in the queue, interacting with others, listening to their troubles, and obliging people who wanted to take selfies with him.

Twitterati had a fun time meanwhile, they couldn’t resist themselves trolling Rahul Gandhi:

#RahulAtATM How many times has Rahul Gandhi ever visited an ATM in his life? Did Sibal, Ahmad Patel, Anand Sharma or Chidambaram ever do?

Hehe. Rahul Gandhi adds to the list of poor and downtrodden people he has visited, by visiting an ATM.
