Nanded (Maharashtra): Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday had a glass of sugarcane juice at a street-side outlet and interacted with local women after a campaign rally here.
Gandhi addressed a rally in this central Maharashtra city ahead of the November 20 state assembly elections.
Afterwards, before going to the airport, his convoy headed to the Central Bus Stand.
He spoke to some women there about the welfare schemes started by the Mahayuti government in the state, and what the Opposition's Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance would do for them if elected to power.
He also treated himself and his security personnel to fresh sugarcane juice.
Sugarcane juice outlets are a quintessential feature at bus stands across Maharashtra.
The Congress leader paid Rs 200 for ten glasses of sugarcane juice, onlookers said.
Assembly Elections 2024 | The Maharashtra Assembly polls will take place against the backdrop of a fractured political landscape in the western state where the Shiv Sena and NCP will be going up against the Uddhav Thackeray and Sharad Pawar factions, even as the BJP and Congress try to make their mark. Meanwhile, in Jharkhand, the JMM faces a new challenge after Hemant Soren's recent arrest and Champai, a longstanding party member, joining the BJP. The Haryana election resulted in a shock loss for Congress, which was looking to galvanize on the Lok Sabha poll performance, while J&K also saw the grand old party eventually stepping away from the cabinet, with Omar Abdullah's JKNC forming government. It remains to be seen if the upcoming polls help BJP cement its position further or provide a fillip to I.N.D.I.A.
