Rahul Gandhi, the leader of the Congress, narrowly avoided a close call on Monday when part of the dais that was constructed for one of his election rallies in Bihar gave way.
In Paliganj, a suburb of the state capital, Mr. Gandhi was there to support Misa Bharti, the daughter of RJD president Lalu Prasad, who is running for the Patliputra Lok Sabha seat.
Mr. Gandhi was being led by Ms. Bharti to his seat when he was observed stumbling to maintain his balance as part of the temporary platform dipped.
An alert Ms Bharti quickly held Mr Gandhi by the hand, helping him regain his balance and they smilingly told anxious security personnel, who ran to help, that the Congress leader was fine.
Rahul Gandhi’s stage has crumbled in Patliputra where he has to address rally with RJD leaders
In last few years, this has turned out to be very lucky for parties. Example : Himachal Pradesh where Mukesh Agnihotri stage fell down and INC formed govt. pic.twitter.com/BOWanps4wd
