Ahead of Rahul Gandhi’s rally in Madhya Pradesh, on Monday, Congress workers used an incorrect flex poster featuring the photo of a BJP leader. A tweet by ANI showed that ahead of Rahul Gandhi's address today in Dhanora village of Mandla Lok Sabha in favour of Congress candidate Omkar Singh, the flex used as a background for the stage had the photo of Union Minister & BJP candidate Faggan Singh Kulaste along with all the Congress leaders.
According to ANI, workers were seen covering the photo with a piece of cloth in a last-minute fix after they noticed the mistake. The flex was replaced with the correct photo of Congress MLA Rajneesh Harvansh Singh.
Meanwhile, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is all set to begin the election campaign today in MP.

Elections for the 29 Lok Sabha seats in Madhya Pradesh will be conducted in four phases from April 19 to May 13. Khajuraho and six other constituencies are scheduled for voting in the second phase on April 26, with the deadline for filing nominations being April 4.
On Sunday the Madhya Pradesh Congress chief Jitu Patwari had alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was exerting pressure on certain candidates in the Khajuraho Lok Sabha seat to withdraw from the poll race.
While the Congress termed the goof-up a "human error", Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav said the opposition party had accepted defeat even before the elections, as per PTI.
