Nearly 1,000 stringed cots – khats in local parlance – were taken away on Tuesday by villagers attending a rally by Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi, who launched his Deoria to Dilli yatra to connect with voters ahead of next year’s assembly elections.
As soon as Gandhi left the meeting venue, Rudrapur Inter College ground, villagers jostled to collect the stringed cots popular in the countryside.
Men, women and children all scampered to collect one each, carrying off the loot on their heads, bicycles and motorbikes.
