DMK MP A Raja had an in depth shave throughout a public assembly in Tamil Nadu’s Mayiladuthurai on Sunday after gusty winds brought about the overhead focus lights within the occasion to break down close to the stage. A video of the MP’s slim escape has now gone viral on social media.
The programme organised by DMK to have fun Chief Minister MK Stalin’s birthday and the occasion’s authorized win within the Governor matter took an sudden flip when a construction with lights collapsed throughout A Raja’s speech.

The sudden collapse shocked the viewers, although no accidents have been reported. Raja and different leaders instantly left the stage, and the venue shortly emptied as heavy rain adopted, tearing down banners and scattering chairs. The worsening climate finally introduced the occasion to an abrupt finish.
