Another Stage Collapses In Bihar, Takes Down Pappu Yadav This Time

Yet another stage meant for a poll campaign rally collapsed today in Bihar apparently due to overcrowding, taking down with it Jan Adhikar Party-Loktantrik leader Rajesh Ranjan, beter known as Pappu Yadav. Initial reports said several people, including Mr Yadav himself, sustained injuries in the incident that took place at Muzaffarnagar's Minapur assembly constituency. Photographs showed the politician nursing his right arm after the accident. This marked at least the fourth such case of a platform built up for a poll rally giving way due to the sheer weight of people on stage.
