The oxygen tanker was first stopped at Chandan Nagar Square by BJP workers, led by local president Gaurav Randive. He was soon joined by minister Tulsi Silawat.
INDORE: Coming as a shot in the arm for oxygen supply to hospitals, a tanker from Gujarat reached Indore with 30 tonnes of oxygen on Saturday night.
But while the city was counting its breaths, politicians made a media spectacle of it, holding it up for photo ops for over two hours at two places before it could start unloading at its destination on MR-10.
Ironically, the tanker driver had slept for just three hours on the 700km journey after being dispatched from Jamnagar at 1am on Saturday, stopping only once for food.

BJP workers in Madhya Pradesh on Thursday set on fire effigies of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in Bhopal and Indore to protest against the attack on BJP president J P Nadda’s motorcade in her state.
The vehicles in Nadda’s motorcade came under attack by alleged TMC supporters when he was on way to Diamond Harbour in West Bengal to address a meeting of party workers, resulting in injuries to several BJP leaders including party general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya. Nadda, who was in a bullet-proof vehicle, was unharmed, eyewitnesses said.
Condemning the attack, Madhya Pradesh BJP president Vishnu Dutt Sharma alleged that the “unfortunate and cowardly act” was carried out at the behest of the West Bengal government.
