Four BJP workers Jaiveer Singh, Mahendra Sharma, Manoj Sharma and Chandra Prakesh Soni who sustained injuries were rushed to the nearby hospital. The ceremony was called off following the mishap.

This was Heeralal Nagar's first visit to his hometown after his oath-taking ceremony held last month. Nagar was inducted as the Minister of State on December 30. He has been given an independent charge.

Meanwhile, in an unrelated incident last year, AIMIM leader from Rajasthan Waris Pathan fell from the stage after it collapsed. The incident occurred as Pathan addressed a rally in Rajasthan's Makwana. Sharing the video of the incident on X a user wrote, “#AIMIM #Maharashtra senior leader and @aimim_national party's National spokesperson Advocate @warispathan suffered some bruises after the stage on which he was addressing a public meeting in #Makwana in #Rajasthan collapsed. ”

Pathan suffered minor injuries in the incident.
