Rahul Gandhi, the leader of the Congress, was exposed to extreme heat on Tuesday while speaking at a poll rally in Deoria, Uttar Pradesh.
During his address, he drank water from a bottle and told the audience “garmee hai kaafi (it`s too hot).” After this, he poured water from the bottle on his head, prompting a cheer from the crowd.
Gandhi was campaigning for Sadal Prasad, the Congress candidate running for the Lok Sabha seat from Bansgaon (SC). The assembly segments of Rudrapur and Barhaj in Deoria district, as well as Chauri-Chaura, Bansgaon (SC), and Chillupar in Gorakhpur district, are included in the Bansgaon (SC) Lok Sabha seat.
Eight candidates are running for the Bansgaon (SC) seat, including Kamlesh Paswan, a BJP contender and sitting MP, facing off in the primary election. On June 1, Bansgaon will cast ballots in the state`s seventh round of the Lok Sabha elections.
