Ranchi, Mar 2 (UNI) Congress president Rahul Gandhi upon his arrival in the state capital of Ranchi garlanded the statue of Bhagwan Birsa Munda at Birsa Chowk while coming from the airport to the Morabadi grounds.

Upon reaching at the venue he was given a traditional welcome by the women folk artists of the state while the men in the group played the traditional tribal instruments.

 

Gandhi not only joined the folk dancers and shook some steps of traditional dance with them but later also posed for couple of photographs.

He later also greeted the women folk artists on his way to the dais.

 

While Gandhi matched the steps of the folk artists, former Union Minister and incharge for party affairs in Jharkhand RPN Singh played the drum which he had hung around his neck.
