Congress MP Rahul Gandhi interacted with women collecting mahua flowers in a forest near Umaria town in Madhya Pradesh. The women shared their problems and challenges with Gandhi, who also took photos with them. Gandhi had been campaigning in Madhya Pradesh for his party candidates ahead of the Lok Sabha polls. He had to stay overnight in Shahdol district due to inclement weather and refueling issues with his helicopter, prompting jibes from BJP leader Shivraj Singh Chouhan.
