Indian politicians and their 'Oops' moments

 

Broke-back Suresh Angadi

Karnataka Member of Parliament Suresh Angadi was in for a shock when one of his fans rushed him while shouting ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai'.

 

The BJP MP then found himself being lifted bodily off the ground, only to be promptly dropped like a sack of potatoes. Clearly the good legislator was far heavier than his fan expected.

 

The determined local leader/ fan is not disillusioned by the fall however and immediately tried again, accomplishing his mission.

 

 

 

The swooning saga of Supriya Sule

 

It looks like Mumbai's heat took such a toll on Member of Parliament Supriya Sule that she fainted right after her speech on April 17, last year.

 

Campaigning for Suman Patil, widow of former Deputy Chief Minister RR Patil, Supriya looked fine while addressing the audience.  But she toppled over a few minutes later, apparently from heat exhaustion.

 

 

Truth falls out of mouth: ND Tiwari

 

The father of many controversies, former chief minister of Uttar Pradesh ND Tiwari once had his false teeth pop out as he was addressing the media.

 

 

Incidentally, Tiwari was accused in a sex scandal, married again at the age of 88 and had a 25-year-old son to who later fought a protracted legal battle to gain his legal rights.

 

Truth sometimes does pop out Mr Tiwari, whether you like it or not.

 

Oops...Poonamben in ditch

 

On May 16, 2016, Member of Parliament Poonamben had been arguing with local leaders in Mumbai. The heated argument went a bit too far when she dropped into a sewage channel.

 

As it turned out, the footbridge she was standing on collapsed. Momentarily stunned, the angry leader soon started panicking and was seen shouting for help.

 

All was well in a few minutes when they fished her out. Shall we call a side-effect of the power of her words?

 

 

‘Grounded’ Gadkari

 

BJP leader Nitin Gadkari and other leaders of the BJP made a true connection the land when the stage they were seated on abruptly collapsed. This literal 'ground touch' happened in February 2011.
