Baripada: In a rare gesture, Prime Minister Narendra Modi stopped his speech midway after he spotted a youth who fainted while covering BJP’s election rally at Baripada in Odisha’s Mayurbhanj district on Wednesday.
The Prime Minister, who was addressing the public meeting at Chhau Ground in Baripada, asked his team of doctors to immediately look after the youth, who was found to be a TV journalist.
Sources said the journalist fell ill apparently due to intense heat.
Modi asked his team to provide him assistance as soon as he spotted the youth in a bad shape.
Doctors in the PM’s team immediately reached the site and provided necessary assistance to the journalist.
Meanwhile, senior BJP leader and Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan hailed the Prime Minister for the noble gesture and said the high standards set by Modi Ji in public life are an inspiration for everyone.
