Leader of the opposition Rahul Gandhi was stuck in Godda, where he addressed an election rally, as his helicopter could not take off following this, they said. However, the Congress alleged that Gandhi was targeted unfairly by the administration. “Our leader Rahul Gandhi’s helicopter was not allowed to take off for about two hours, posing a grave threat to his life. This was a security lapse at the behest of the Centre,” state minister Deepika Pandey Singh alleged.
