Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday made an unscheduled stopover in central Maharashtra’s Latur town as there are no night landing facilities at the local airport, party sources said.
Earlier, Gandhi arrived at Latur airport around 3 pm from Amravati and flew to Solapur by helicopter for a campaign rally in support of party candidate Praniti Shinde.
He returned to Latur around 6 pm but could not fly back to Delhi as per his schedule as planes cannot land at the local airport at night, sources said.
Gandhi then proceeded to the city’s Grand Hotel to spend the night. He would return to Delhi in the morning.
He met Congress MLA and former state minister Amit Deshmukh and discussed the political situation in Maharashtra with him, sources said.
