Despite request, villagers take away 'promised' cots from Rahul's rally

September 14, 2016 13:59

And, once again! Locals took away cots after Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi's 'khaat Sabha' ended in Mirzapur, Uttar Pradesh today.

They were unfazed by the announcement which said 'khaat chodke chale jao (leave cots and go)'.

This has happened the third time since the Congress vice president started 'khaat sabhas' in UP on Spetember 6.

Looks like people come to Rahuls rally for cots, as an elderly attendee of the rally in Mirzapur today expressed 'disappointment for not getting a khaat to take home after Rahul's rally'. He said some local party 'adhyaksh' has told them that whoever attends Rahul's rally will get a cot and a shirt.

'But I got neither,' he said in dismay.
