Prime Minister Narendra Modi who addressed a rally in Hyderabad’a Parade Grounds on Saturday stopped his election speech midway after he noticed a young girl climbing a structure on which lights were fixed, in a bid to call for his attention.
PM Modi was in the city to address a meeting organised by the Madiga Reservation Porata Samithi (MRPS), a community organisation of Madigas, one of the biggest constituents of Scheduled Castes in Telugu states.
The Prime Minister insisted her repeatedly to climb down the structure saying that the condition of electric wires appeared to be not good.
When she was trying to convey something to PM Modi, he said in Hindi, “Beta, I will listen to you. Please come down and sit. It may short-circuit. This is not correct. I came for you people. There is no use doing such things.”
Rajya Sabha member K Laxman who was translating the PM’s speech also requested her to climb down in Telugu.
Meanwhile, before beginning his speech, PM Modi consoled MRPS founder Krishna Madiga, who got emotional on stage and broke in tears.
Telangana goes to polls on November 30 and counting of votes will be on December 3.
