Within minutes of Rahul leaving the venue, onlookers swooped in and made away with the charpoys. The narrow alleys around the Dudhnath Baba Mandir Maidan got swamped with villagers carrying the 'khats' on their shoulders. In the ensuing chaos, people were seen sarcastically calling out to each other while decamping with the 'khats'. When asked about it, even as he gingerly balanced the rally takeaway on his shoulder, a villager quipped, "Kya hai ki Rahulji ne hi diya hai (It is given by Rahulji)." The Congress party has specially got these colourful 'khats' made in Bihar and other states for the event.
