When PM Modi visited the injured at Midnapore hospital, Rita asked him for an autograph.

An autograph from Prime Minister Narendra Modi has turned West Bengal's Mudi sisters into celebrities of their district.

Rita and Anita Mudi had gone to attend Prime Minister Narendra Modi's rally in Midnapore last week when they were injured in the tent collapse and rushed to a hospital.

When PM Modi visited the injured at Midnapore hospital, Rita asked him for an autograph. Modi not only give his autograph but also clicked a picture with them.

The autograph and photograph have made Anita and Rita, residents of Ranibandh area, no less than celebrities of their district Bankura. The Mudi sisters have been approached by several visitors, more curious about the autograph than their well-being.

"It was as if God gave us a surprise visit," Mudi sisters said coherently, recounting the moment when the prime minister visited them at the hospital.

"I didn't have a paper with me when I asked for his autograph. Modi ji patiently waited for me to get one and asked me several times if I was well before giving me his autograph. I am a great fan of his and will cherish that moment with him for the rest of my life," Rita said.

Curious villagers are visiting the sisters wanting to take a snap of PM Modi's autograph.

One of them said, "We want to ask the sisters how it feels to be so close to the prime minister, whom we can only see on TV or photographs."

To the two girls pursuing Bangla Honours in Ranibandh College, a conversation in Hindi with the prime minister feels like the biggest achievement so far.
