The editorial
Source: The Hindustan Times · 16 Nov 2024Congress MP Rahul Gandhi's helicopter was ‘held up’ for about 45 minutes before it was allowed to depart from Jharkhand's Godda, the party alleged on Friday, and claimed the delay was because the Air Traffic Control (ATC) gave ‘priority’ to an election rally of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Chakai, around 150 kilometres from Godda.
The incident occurred two days after 43 out of 81 assembly constituencies voted in Jharkhand. The remaining 38 seats will vote on November 20 and results will be declared on November 23.
