Watch: Gujarat CM Vijay Rupani faints on stage during election campaign

Gujarat CM Vijay Rupani collapsed on stage in front of thousands of public who had come to hear him address about municipality elections.

CM Rupani can be seen feeling uneasy while standing on stage and momentum of speech also slows and slurring can be noticed and within seconds, he collapses.

As per doctors, Rupani's BP had drastic variations as he has low BP issue, his normal blood  pressure 130/80 plummeted resulting in him fainting.

The campaign for municipality elections in Gujarat seems to have gained heat as heavy weights from both BJP and Congress are on the campaign trail and this was Rupani's third such rally. The CM is said to be restless from the last few days and this may have caused fluctuations in his BP.

The CM was given first aid on stage and later moved to hospital. Once he stabilised, he left for Ahmedabad. Later PM Narendra Modi also called the CM and advised him to take enough rest and take care of himself.
