Mirzapur, UP: At Rahul Gandhi's latest "Khaat Sabha" in Uttar Pradesh on Wednesday, a voice on the mic warned the gathering against making off with any party favours, specifically, the khatiyas or cots.
"Khaat chhodke chale jao (leave the cots and go)," a Congress leader said sternly on the mic as Mr Gandhi finished his speech at the meeting in Mirzapur in the southern part of Uttar Pradesh.
Around half a dozen cots were still ferreted away, but reports suggest Congress workers were quick to recover them.
The Congress vice president's khaat sabhas - an innovative take on village meetings where elders are seated on cots fashioned out of rope and wood - are the centerpiece of his farmer-focused outreach in Uttar Pradesh, where elections will be held early next year.
The moment Mr Gandhi ended his speech, locals were seen walking away with some 2,000 brand new cots laid out for the event.
Mr Kishor is planning the UP campaign for the Congress and has planned Mr Gandhi's month-long tour.
