New Delhi: The Congress tricolour fell off the flagpole as party president Sonia Gandhi tried to hoist it to mark the party’s 137th foundation day on Tuesday at the AICC headquarters here.
As soon as Sonia Gandhi pulled the rope and looked up, the flag fell into her hands, seen in the video, which has now gone viral on the social media.
However, Gandhi along with party treasurer Pawan Bansal and AICC general secretary KC Venugopal held the party tricolour in their hand and displayed it briefly. A Congress worker later climbed up the flagpole to string the party tricolour.
