Sonia instantly struck a chord with the crowds as she thanked them for waiting for hours in the heat to listen to her.
"You have been patiently waiting in this heat. I thank you profusely for that. I have come to seek your support for the Congress," she said amid a thunderous applause from the gathering.
Sonia addressed a rally here in support of party candidate from this reserved constituency and Union Minister Selja, who is locked in a triangular contest with BJP's Rattan Lal Kataria and BSP's Chanderpal.
Despite a fierce dust storm and about 43 degrees Celsius temperature, Sonia went close to the crowds after she had ended her speech.
