Khaat capers: Twitter goes amok as people run away with cots from Rahul Gandhi's 'khaat yatra'

Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi's Khaat Sabha campaign with UP farmers took a hilarious turn on 6 September, when all the local supporters began decamping with khaats from the venue.

Unprecedented ruckus and commotion followed Rahul Gandhi's speech at the ground in Deoria, where the rally was held, after which people started fighting over the cots.

Twitter, as usual, exploded and 'khat', 'Khatpecharche', "replacemovienamewithkhaat" began trending in no time. Twitterati came up with some amusing memes and went on to be supremely creative at coming up with movie names.

Despite the fact that his first day ended on a sour note as farmers were seen clamouring for the Khaats at the end of the interaction, Gandhi will continue with his Khaat Sabha campaign today to woo Gorakhpur farmers.
