While some leaders, like Bhupendra Gupta, received primary treatment and were allowed to go home, others, including Rajiv Singh and Manak Agrawal, sustained severe injuries and have been hospitalized.The mishap occurred on the first day of the MP Vidhan Sabha’s budget session, which, with only nine sittings, is one of the shortest budget sessions in the state’s history.The MP Kisan Congress had called for a gherao of the Vidhan Sabha building to protest farmers’ issues, but the administration and police did not allow the march towards the assembly building.As a result, the Kisan Congress held a protest rally at Rangmahal Square, where the stage collapse took place.Meanwhile, Congress leaders, including state party chief Jitu Patwari and Leader of Opposition Umang Singhar, were among those stopped by the police from participating in the protest march, with water cannons being used to disperse them.
