The aircraft carrying former Congress President Sonia Gandhi and son Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday made an emergency landing in Madhya Pradesh’s Bhopal, news agency ANI reported.
The Bhopal police attributed the flight’s emergency landing to bad weather. Bhopal police commissioner Harinarayan Chari Mishra said the aircraft is likely to take off for onward journey at around 9.30 PM, according to news agency PTI.
Both Sonia and Rahul Gandhi attended the Opposition Meeting in Bengaluru earlier today. Speaking at the meeting, which established a 26-member grouping of Opposition parties for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, Rahul Gandhi said that the Opposition alliance would be named INDIA (Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance).
He said that the name was decided because the opposition parties’ fight was not against the BJP, but for the “the voice of the nation”.
