Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on May 27 had a close shave when a portion of the dais set up for one of his election rallies in Bihar caved in.
Mr. Gandhi was at Paliganj, on the outskirts of the state capital, to canvass for RJD president Lalu Prasad’s daughter Misa Bharti, who is contesting the Patliputra Lok Sabha seat.
The incident occurred just as Mr. Gandhi was about to address the gathering, causing a brief commotion. Fortunately, he escaped unhurt and continued with his speech after ensuring everyone’s safety.
The rally was part of the Congress party’s campaign efforts to support their allies in the run-up to the Lok Sabha elections, highlighting the significance of coalition politics in the region.
