Former Union Minister and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), MP, Ram Kripal Yadav, fell into a river while he was on his way to a flood-hit area falling in his parliamentary constituency on Wednesday evening
The
occurrence took place in Dhanarua block of rural Patna, falling under the
Pataliputra Lok Sabha segment of Bihar. Yadav is representing Pataliputra for
the second consecutive term.
Yadav
was riding a contraption made with the help of tyre tubes tied to bamboo
shafts, apparently on account of non-availability of boats, to cross the Dardha
along with some of his supporters.
The
contraption was about a few meters away from the shore when it tilted and all
those aboard, including the MP, fell into the river. Onlookers standing beside
the banks of the river to receive the lawmaker dived into the river and Yadav
was promptly rescued.
The
MP remained unconscious for a few seconds during which the people fanned him
with towel. Soon after, Yadav was led to
his destination.
Yadav
had joined the BJP in 2014 after snapping his long ties with RJD supremo Lalu
Prasad.
Yadav
had defeated Lalu Prasad Yadav's daughter, Misa Bharti, in the Lok Sabha
polls. Patna is among 15 districts of Bihar where a flood-like situation has
arisen after heavy rainfall over the past few days.
