Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who was in West Bengal's Cooch Behar for the election campaign, paused his speech midway when he saw that an elderly woman in the crowd needed medical attention.
In the 30-second clip, published by news agency ANI, the prime minister is heard asking the team of doctors with him to take care of the elderly woman. He also asked someone to offer her some water, and directed his team of doctors to reach there at the earliest. "Mere sath jo doctor hain, zara dekhiye wo mata ji ko pani dijiye.. unki chinta kijiye. Mere team ke doctors wahan pahunchiye turant," he is heard saying in the video.
According to ANI, the woman was facing health issues due to dehydration.

Meanwhile, the prime minister, during his election campaign, targetted Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for seeking en bloc voting by Muslims for the TMC saying this suggests that "minority votes are slipping out of her hands."
"Didi recently asked all Muslims to vote en bloc for her. It shows that the Muslim vote bank is slipping out of her hands. Had we said the same thing that all Hindus should unite, everybody would have criticised us.The EC would have sent us notices. We would have been censored," he said.
