Matching the steps: United Progressive Alliance Chairperson and
Congress President Sonia Gandhi happily accepted the greetings and
gifts from the tribals, and joined them for a few dance steps. Pic/AFPGandhi, who inaugurated the convention on 'Empowerment to Tribal Women', mingled with the delegates who had come from different tribal regions of the country.

Some of the workers even captured Gandhi's impromptu jig on their mobile phones. The convention went ahead with speeches from union ministers after Gandhi left the venue.
