‘Suba Se Bachcho Ko Leke Ja Raha Hu’: Auto Driver Refuses To Take Fare From CJP Protesters

“Doing it for the country and the youth”- were ultimately the words that turned a Delhi auto rickshaw driver- Rakesh Kumar Yadav- into an internet sensation! A video was shared online, which showed some youngsters going to the Jantar Mantar to join the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) protest in an auto. The video showed the conversation between both parties, which was quick to go viral for all the correct reasons. The auto driver was not only seen refusing to take the ride’s fare from the protesters, but he also clarified how he has been dropping off people at Jantar Mantar since the morning.As per the post, the incident was held on Monday, July 20, where the protesters held the ‘Chalo Sansad’ march as part of the protest.“On 20th July 2026. With

Delhi Metro stations closed, police barricades everywhere, no buses, no network, and no online cabs, thousands of people were left to walk nearly an hour to reach Jantar Mantar,” the post read.“That’s when Mr Rakesh Kumar Yadav called us over and offered to drop us to the protest site. When we tried to pay him, he politely refused,” the post continued.“His words were:’Ye desh ke liye, yuvaon ke liye mera chhota sa yogdaan hai.’ Acts of kindness like this restore faith in humanity. People like him remind us that change isn’t driven only by those who protest, but also by those who quietly stand beside them. Salute to your spirit, Rakesh ji. 🇮🇳 Your selfless gesture gave us the courage to keep going,” the post concluded.The CJP-led Jantar Mantar protest began over a month ago to demand the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the alleged NEET Paper leak. The CJP spokesperson also met BJP's JP Nadda after the ‘Chalo Sansad’ march.Professor and environmentalist Sonam Wangchuk also joined the protest and went on a hunger strike. However, he was shifted to the Safdarjung Hospital by the Delhi Police last weekend, where he continued his strike. On Tuesday, July 21, the Delhi High Court then continued hearing a plea by activist Sonam Wangchuk's wife, Getanjali Angmo, and shifted Sonam to a private hospital.Check out the viral post: The post was shared on X (formerly Twitter), by the handle ‘aishwaryatamta98’.

Internet’s reaction: “The poor have the biggest heart, while there are some who are looting the temples,” a user said. “We need more understanding people like this man. Also, what is the issue in being a bit empathetic,” added another. “Real goal : Educated and civilized behaviour we want in our country,” commented the next person. “If only more people were like this and thought of not just themselves but everyone,” added another person. “I love how supporters are doing everything that they can and it's all just very wholesome,” added another.
