Visuals showed the leaders standing on the stage, clasping hands, as they were poised to address the public gathering. Unexpectedly, the stage gave way, prompting everyone on it to momentarily lose their balance and cling to each other. The former Congress president, positioned alongside Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Misa Bharti, daughter of Lalu Prasad, was observed holding her hand as the stage collapsed. Despite the scare, both Gandhi and Bharti remained composed and exchanged smiles with the concerned security personnel who hurried to assist them.

As per the report, the gathering was arranged to endorse Misa Bharti’s bid for the Patliputra Lok Sabha seat. Following the incident, Gandhi proceeded with the rally, addressing the audience and reaffirming his backing for Bharti’s electoral campaign.
