 Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel took to his Twitter handle and expressed his deep concern for the young boy and assured all help to him and his family in this hard time. “Expressing grief over the news of the accident of Sahdev Dirdo, Chief Minister Shri @bhupeshbaghel has directed Collector Shri Vineet Nandanwar @SukmaDist to provide best medical aid at the earliest.”

He shared an update about Sahdev’s condition on Twitter and wrote, “In touch with Sahdev’s family and friends. He is unconscious, on his way to the hospital. I'm there for him. Need your prayers.” 

Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel had earlier this year paid a visit to Sahdev and felicitated him. Taking to his Twitter, the CM documented his visit to the boy in the viral video, who was seen adorned with a flower garland. Two years ago, Sahdev’s teacher asked him to sing the song at school and recorded his video. The clip was subsequently shared on the internet. However, the video only grabbed netizens' attention this year. The viral video also caught the eye of Bollywood rapper/singer Badshah and he collaborated with Dirdo for a new version of the song. The song was released in August and has amassed over 300 million views on the video streaming platform Youtube.
