BJP Leaders Injured After Stage Collapses During Wedding Ceremony in Uttar Pradesh

The stage collapsed with BJP leaders present on it.

Several Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders sustained injuries when a stage suddenly collapsed during a wedding reception in Uttar Pradesh's Ballia. The incident occurred on Wednesday while they were offering blessings to a newly-married couple. The reception was organized for the brother of Abhishek Singh Engineer, a local BJP worker. Notable attendees included Ballia district BJP president Sanjay Mishra, former MP Bharat Singh, and approximately twelve other party officials.

The platform gave way unexpectedly when the leaders gathered on stage to bless the bride and groom, causing everyone—including the newlyweds—to fall to the ground.

Camera footage capturing the collapse has since gone viral. Sanjay Mishra, the district BJP president, expressed that it was fortunate no one suffered serious injuries.

"The platform was constructed using only plywood without additional support. When we all gathered together, it immediately collapsed," he explained.

The BJP leader reported that while some individuals sustained minor injuries, most people were unharmed.

Social media reactions to the viral video were varied. One X user commented "Fell in love," while another remarked "Heavyweight leaders they are." A third person wrote "Shaadi ka bojh," and another suggested "They must be heavy, may need some cardio."
