Ballari:

Four Congress workers suffered a 'minor electric shock' on Sunday as they were trying to tie flags on electric poles during the Bharat Jodo Yatra near Moka village in Ballari. Former All India Congress Committee (AICC) president Rahul Gandhi and AICC general secretary Randeep Singh Surjewala visited the injured men in the government hospital where they were admitted.

“An unfortunate incident occurred during the Yatra today. A few of our friends suffered an electric shock while tying flags to a pole. They have been tended to in the Civil Hospital, New Moka, Ballari. I am happy to see they have not suffered any major injuries, and their morale continues to remain high,” Gandhi said.

“Even in this moment of distress, the spirit of the #BharatJodoYatra took over. Those injured were immediately helped and taken care of,” he added.
