Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday made an unscheduled halt in Latur city of central Maharashtra as there is no night-landing facility at the local airport, party sources said.


Earlier, Gandhi arrived at the Latur airport around 3 pm from Amravati and flew to Solapur in a helicopter for a campaign rally in support of party candidate Praniti Shinde.


He returned to Latur around 6 pm but could not fly back to Delhi as per his schedule as planes can not land at the local airport at night, sources said.


Gandhi then proceeded to the Grand Hotel in the city for an overnight stay. He would be returning to Delhi in the morning.

He met Congress MLA and former state minister Amit Deshmukh and discussed the political situation in Maharashtra with him, sources said.
