Senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh fell while taking part in the Rahul Gandhi-led Bharat Jodo Yatra near Barwaha in Madhya Pradesh's Khargone district on Saturday. The incident ignited a verbal tussle between the opposition party and the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party on the condition of the state's roads.
Mr Singh was unhurt after he fell while moving towards a roadside restaurant during a tea break amid the march and was immediately helped to his feet by Congress workers surrounding him, eyewitnesses said.
"Digvijaya Singh has fallen to the ground four times so far during the Bharat Jodo Yatra. However, he has fallen for the first time in Madhya Pradesh and the reason is the state also has bad roads," All India Congress Committee media in charge Jairam Ramesh told reporters.
