Earlier the same Rahul Gandhi in a way 'adopted' one Mrs. Kalavathi's family of UP. Offering a lucrative thousand note for the news paper vendor and then 'adopting' him by the state Congres may be treated as fun and gimmicks as usual with some politicians!

Slightly different view here. What are we focusing on? On a free newspaper or involvement of Rahul Gandhi in the same?

Obviosuly "Mr.Gandhi" knows how much a newspaper cost but do we really expect him to carry tender change or any money at all. How many ministers at this level keep money during such official visits when govt is paying everything.
I don't see this as a pre planned activity to obtain some publicity. It can happen with anyone. Just the matter Rahul Gandhi was involved so media got the reason to flash it.
Rest what happened, Congress is well known for optimizing such opportunities.

Bhopal: Madhya Pradesh Congress has "adopted" a 10-year-old hawker who gave a newspaper for free to Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi, because the latter had no change.On Saturday, state Congress Chief Kantilal Bhuria met Kaushal Shakya and his father Dulichand Shakya at the party office in Bhopal and announced, after felicitating the boy, that Congress was "adopting" him. Mr Bhuria said the party would give Rs. 1,000 per month to the boy, who had told Mr Gandhi that he wanted to become a doctor.
Kaushal, a class 5 student, sells newspapers. On April 25, when Mr Gandhi was heading for Raja Bhoj airport in a car, Kaushal approached him and requested him to buy a newspaper.
Mr Gandhi took the newspaper and handed him a Rs.1,000 note, but the boy returned it, saying he had no change, and he was offering the copy for free. The Congress Vice President then had a brief chat with him. Thanks & RegardsBNK 24x7 Hand phones: GSM - 98201 28332
