Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had a close shave when a portion of the stage, set up for the INDIA bloc's election campaign in Bihar, caved in on Monday. The incident happened when Rahul Gandhi, along with other INDIA bloc leaders, entered the stage to address the public gathered to attend the Opposition alliance's rally. The leaders were campaigning just ahead of the seventh and the last phase of the Lok Sabha elections.
A video surfaced on social media wherein Gandhi and Rashtriya Janta Dal (RJD) leader Misa Bharti could be seen holding each other's hand when the stage broke. A security official then seemed to offer Rahul Gandhi help. Gandhi told him he was fine and continued waving at his audience at the rally in Bihar's Paliganj. Although the leaders lost balance when the incident happened, everything was fine later.
Rahul Gandhi, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav and other leader delivered speeches at the rally on Monday. Gandhi reiterated the promised made by the party in its manifesto for the Lok Sabha Elections 2024.
