The leaders of all the political parties are occupied with the seventh phase of the Lok Sabha Election 2024, which follows the completion of the previous six phases. The leader of India Aghadi is actively campaigning in this phase constituency as well. 

The India Aghadi summit took place on Monday at Paliganj, Bihar. Attending the meeting were a number of prominent figures, including Rashtriya Janata Dal leader Tejashwi Yadav and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi (Rahul Gandhi News). However, the meeting’s stage fell twice before that.

Tejashwi Yadav, Rahul Gandhi and other leaders attended the Paliganj campaign meeting. Abruptly, the platform gave way beneath these leaders as they entered. Rahul Gandhi was in the lead this time. On this occasion, Tejashvi Yadav was accompanied by his sister, Misa Bharti. Grasping Rahul’s hand, he recuperated. Rahul continued to raise his hands in the air to the attendees even after the stage fell. (Campaign for India Alliance Election)

When Rahul stepped off the stage for the second time, his bodyguards came over to him. Then, Rahul requested them to go, telling them that everything was well. However, Tejashwi Yadav received assistance from other leaders. The meeting took place after the stage collapsed. Rahul, among other prominent figures, delivered stirring addresses.

A video of the stage collapsing while Rahul Gandhi was standing on it has been making rounds on social media platforms. Campaigning has been quite challenging for political leaders this year, with the sweltering heat in most parts of the subcontinent. A few weeks back, TMC’s supremo also suffered a minor fall inside her chopper while Union Minister Nitin Gadkari fainted due to the heat while addressing the crowd as part of his rally.
