The incident left many amused and added a light-hearted twist to the day's political engagements.

Later he was scheduled to interact with the Peanut Research Center farmers and Lakhpati Didi beneficiaries. As he was also scheduled to take a flight from Rajkot at around 8 o'clock later in the day, so he was in a hurry.
During the visit to the research centre, he reviewed the work with the staff, while his wife was sitting in the waiting house. After that Shivraj held an interaction with the Lakhpati Didi scheme beneficiaries, the report added.
He kept looking at his watch again and again on the stage of the program. He himself said on the mike, 'The road to Rajkot is bad, next time I will come leisurely."
He cut short his speech and hurriedly left Junagadh for Rajkot with the convoy. On the other hand, Sadhna had returned after visiting Girnar and was sitting in the waiting room.
After travelling for around 10 minutes, he realised that Sadhna was not with him. Then he immediately called her and returned with the convoy and left for Rajkot with his wife.
