It's been three years since they were promised jobs and other benefits, by none other than then Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi. But for the families of the six people killed in serial blasts at Patna Gandhi Maidan on 27 October 2013, the wait continues.

The promises were made to them by Modi, the BJP's prime ministerial candidate, after six persons – Rajnarain Singh, Rajesh Kumar, Bindeshwar Chowdhury, Bharat Rajak, Vikas Kumar and Munna Srivastava – were killed in bomb blasts that rocked the Patna Gandhi Maidan venue, just ahead of Modi's address at a massive rally there.

The families are disappointed. Neither has any Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader approached them so far nor have officials of the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) contacted them in the three years.
