Vadodara turns hotspot for activists, politicians
Express News Service

Vadodara, May 4: AFTER the violence that began on Monday, Vadodara has been witnessing a continuous trickle of politicians from Delhi and social activists, while national electronic media channels have set up camp in the city. To keep up pressure on the state government, the Congress has posted three All India Congress Committee (AICC) secretaries in the city and has also asked Union Minister of State for Railways Naran Rathwa to oversee the situation in Vadodara. The residences of those killed in the clashes and SSG Hospital remained the most visited destinations in the city.

Like Union Minister of State for Home Shriprakash Jaiswal and Chief Minister Narendra Modi, for every politician and activist, the city riot tour begins with SSG Hospital, where the injured are undergoing treatment. On Monday morning, it was AICC secretaries Manish Tewari, Siddharth Patel and Sanjay Bapana and others who visited the injured, while activists met them later in the day.

On Wednesday, prior to the CM’s visit, the security arrangements inconvenienced other patients as some of them were temporarily wheeled out from their wards on stretchers, till the VIP visitors left.

The homes of the deceased, prominently Mohammed Rafi Vora, who was lynched by a mob, and Biren Shah, who was stabbed to death, remained the most visited addresses where people went to offer condolences.
