He further informed that Pilot arrived with a cavalcade of vehicles including 4-6 cars.
Five-member Congress delegation led by Rahul Gandhi reached the Lakhimpur Kheri district earlier today. The Uttar Pradesh government on Wednesday approved the visit of the Congress delegation led by Rahul Gandhi.
