Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi was doing a roadshow in Bharuch, Gujarat, when his a young woman's ‘fan moment’ happened and it was all caught on camera. A Bharuch girl climbed onto Gandhi's van during his road show to get a selfie clicked with him.
 
An ANI video shows the Bharuch teenager climbing up the van, getting close to Gandhi and clicking a selfie with him before the SPG personnel.  She even presented Gandhi a bunch of flowers.
