Politicians, who never fail to let a good photo-op pass, were in for a rude shock when students and resident doctors on hunger strike at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in the capital refused to bite their bait. After some little known leaders began inciting the students with their speeches, liberally sprinkled with casteist remarks, the students made their displeasure obvious. Instead of a resounding round of claps, which these self-styled leaders were hoping for, the students asked them to leave the premises.
A senior BJP leader who tried to show concern by offering to check their blood glucose levels was also snubbed. The protesting doctors reminded him that they might be on strike but have not forgotten the basics of medicine.
