As Rahul Gandhi officially took charge as the Congress president on Saturday, a 30-year-old Congress leader in Gorakhpur was filled with emotions and happiness. 

Anwar Hussain, who started his political career as a student leader, said he and his party leaders have been working really hard to establish Rahul Gandhi brand.

From selling 'Rahul herbal tea' to distributing 'Rahul rose', Anwar have been the biggest fan of Rahul Gandhi. 

Anwar has already made plans to strengthen the Congress party by involving both young men and women in the party.

“My plan now, after Rahulji’s elevation, will be to strengthen the Congress by getting more and more young men and women to join the party. He (Rahul) is very popular among youth,” said Anwar according to an HT report.

During the recent UP assembly elections, he even distributed 'Rahul rose' to voters, appealing to them to vote.

He also grabbed a lot of media attention when he promoted the Samajwadi Party and Congress alliance in Uttar Pradesh during the assembly elections. He called Rahul Gandhi and Akhilesh Yadav 'Karan Arjun ki Jodi'.

Anwar also distributed 'Rahul herbal tea' during demonetisation when people stood in bank queues. He even sold 'Rahul onion' at Rs 5 per kg when the prices soared.

Back in 2014, when BJP launched their 'chai pe charcha' poll campaign under their candidate Narendra Modi for general elections, Anwar found a new way to counter his rival party. In an effort to sideline BJP's campaign 'Modi tea', the Gorakhpur leader started 'Rahul Milk' campaign.

Anwar was also part of the campaign of the Congress members who wrote letters with blood and made an emotional appeal to elevate Rahul Gandhi as the party president in 2015.

Not just that, Anwar has been Rahul Gandhi's ultimate fan, setting up a picture gallery of his mentor in his house and even a coffee mug of Rahul's pictures in it.
