Stage collapses during Lalu's speech, no injuries

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).
