A portion of the makeshift tent collapsed while Modi was delivering a speech in Midnapore, West Bengal. While many got injured, Modi’s speech did not stop. What also didn’t stop or even pause was Modi’s love for photo-ops.

What happened thereafter, is a sad tale.

“Modi gave autographs, clicked photos and left. I wish they had the concern for us now as they had shown while bringing us here in buses and trucks,” one of the injured said.

There were about 25 people lying in a stretcher and in the floor in front of the X-ray department, they were brought here in buses and trucks and now want to go home, with no one to take them, said a nurse at the hospital who refused to be named. The injured don’t even have money to go home.

Most BJP leaders, however, vanished soon after.

It was ultimately local people along with some CPI(M) workers who had to pitch in to help the injured.

Meanwhile, Police have arrested four BJP persons supporters on charges of assaulting 14 policemen who were manning the roads leading to rally.
