BJP MLA Sarita Bhadoria narrowly escaped injury after slipping and falling onto the railway tracks during the flagging-off ceremony for the Agra Cantt-Banaras Vande Bharat Express at Etawah Junction on Monday.
The incident occurred amid a chaotic scene at the platform. A security guard lost his footing, inadvertently causing Bhadoria to tumble onto the tracks. Fortunately, quick actions by security personnel and party workers helped her back onto the platform, allowing the ceremony to continue as planned.
