Amethi (UP) | Congress workers in Uttar Pradesh's Amethi district held prayers and recited Hanuman Chalisa on Monday as they celebrated the birthday of their party leader and former MP Rahul Gandhi who turned 53.

Along with district Congress president Pradeep Singhal, the party workers participated in 'bhajan-keertan' and recitation of Hanuman Chalisa.

The spokesperson of the party's district unit, Anil Singh, said 'sharbat' was

distributed in all the blocks of Amethi, and party workers also celebrated Gandhi's birthday at the block headquarters.

Gandhi had lost the 2019 Lok Sabha elections to BJP's Smriti Irani from Amethi seat, and won from Wayanad parliamentary constituency in Kerala.

The former Congress president was disqualified from the Lok Sabha on March 24 after a Surat court convicted him in a defamation case.
