Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Friday said his flight to Patna was forced to return to Delhi after experiencing "engine trouble".
Gandhi wrote this on Twitter and also posted a video of the flight which shows him, the pilot and co-pilot in the plane.
"Engine trouble on our flight to Patna today! We've been forced to return to Delhi," Gandhi tweeted.
"Today's meetings in Samastipur (Bihar), Balasore (Orissa) & Sangamner (Maharashta) will run late. Apologies for the inconvenience," he said.
Gandhi is on a campaign trail, criss-crossing the length and breadth of the country for the Lok Sabha polls.
