Close shave for Rahul Gandhi as stage collapses during Bihar poll rally
PTC Web Desk: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had a close shave on Monday when a part of the dais for one of his election rallies in Bihar caved in.
Gandhi was at Bihar's Paliganj, on the outskirts of the state capital, campaigning for RJD president Lalu Prasad's daughter Misa Bharti, who is running for the Patliputra Lok Sabha seat.
Bharti was helping Gandhi to his seat when he was seen struggling with balance as a section of the makeshift stage fell. Bharti instantly grabbed Gandhi's hand and helped him regain his balance, and they smiled as they assured frightened security staff who ran to help that the Congress leader was alright.
Further details awaited.
