In Shajapur also, three persons were killed in separate incidents when thunderstorm and lightning hit them, an official at the district police control room said.

In Ratlam district, a 13-year-old girl and a 25-year-old man were killed and another minor girl received serious injuries when lightning struck them, Additional Superintendent of Police Indrajeet Singh Bakliwar said.

In Sehore, a man died after a tree fell on him at a roadside in Ashta town. The victim had taken cover under the tree to protect himself from rain and thunderstorm, Superintendent of Police S S Chouhan said.

“Modiji, you are the PM of the country and not of Gujarat. In MP also, more than 10 persons were killed because of unseasonal rains, storm and lightning. But you have confined your feelings to Gujarat only. Though your party has no government here people live here also,” Nath said in a tweet.

Earlier on Wednesday morning, Modi expressed anguish over loss of lives in various parts of Gujarat due to unseasonal rain.

“Authorities are monitoring the situation very closely. All possible assistance is being given to those affected,” he tweeted.

Later the prime minister said, “We stand in solidarity with all those affected due to unseasonal rainfall in various parts of the country.
