Gujarat CM Vijay Rupani
VADODARA: Chief minister Vijay Rupani on Sunday evening collapsed while addressing a public meet in Nizampura area of Vadodara. Rupani, who was visibly unwell, was in Vadodara to address three public gatherings ahead of the civic body polls scheduled on February 21.
A bodyguard sensed something was wrong and tried to hold him but the CM collapsed even as BJP leaders who were on the dais rushed to his help.
Rupani was addressing the public rally at Mehsana crossroads after similar meetings in Tarsali and Karelibaug areas.
Talking to TOI, Rupani said he felt dizzy due to exhaustion. “Vadodara doctors also checked and said it may have happened due to exhaustion as I am constantly travelling. I am going to UN Mehta Hospital for further checkup.”
