<p>Sources said that several girls were also injured.</p>
<p>The marathon was a part of the Congress party's election campaign theme 'Ladki hoon, lad sakti hoon' (I am a girl and can fight).</p>
<p>Even as videos and pictures of girls falling on the ground went viral, the Congress maintained that the participants were 'brimming with enthusiasm,' and were doing a warm up exercise.</p>
<p>However, the event completely overlooked Covid protocols and none of the girls were seen wearing masks or maintaining social distancing.</p>
<p>Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra first gave the election slogan last month, and this marathon comes amidst the rising cases of Covid.</p>
