Rahul Gandhi's Maharashtra Election Rally in Buldhana District Cancelled After Flight Faces Technical Glitch

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's election rally in Chikhli, Buldhana district, scheduled for Tuesday, was cancelled due to a technical glitch in his flight from Delhi. Gandhi was set to address a public meeting at 12:30 pm in support of Congress candidate Rahul Bondre. In a video statement, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha clarified that the cancellation was caused by the flight issue.

"I was supposed to come to Chikhli today, but due to technical glitches in my flight I could not come. I apologise for that. I was supposed to address a public rally and interact with soybean farmers. Soybean and cotton farmers are facing big problems," he said.
