Once bitten?

NEW DELHI - You could call her accident prone or simply cautious. Trinamool Congress’ Lok Sabha candidate celluloid star Satabdi Roy escaped with minor injuries last week when a stage collapsed in her Birbhum Lok Sabha constituency when she was addressing a party gathering.
And history could have repeated itself in the West Bengal constituency Sunday — but this time she was alert and escaped unscathed.
She heard a sound and saw a portion of the state being damaged. Roy swung into action and immediately asked her supporters to get down. She knew a second fall could well become an issue for her political opponents.
‘I might not be a political person. Thus I don’t understand politics very well. But, at least I can say, I can understand people very well,’ she boasted.
