Hajipur:
It was a bit of a fall from grace.
While Lalu Yadav and his wife, Rabri Devi, were addressing a rally in Bihar's Hajipur district, the stage collapsed. There were no injuries.
Lalu, rarely at a loss for words, quipped, "Now that the stage has collapsed, I must be on TV."
Another stage was hurriedly set up and Lalu and Rabri continued their speeches.
The accident took place in a village in the Sonepur Assembly constituency from where Rabri Devi is contesting the Bihar elections.
Starting tomorrow, the state votes for its next government(polls will be held in six phases).
