Chandigarh: Amid a tug of war between two national parties due to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s security breach case, Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi has stated that BJP is extracting it’s political mileage for upcoming Uttar Pradesh Polls.
“No security lapse. PM’s road plans were made at the last minute. He was supposed to go by helicopter. I was up late at night overseeing security arrangements for his rally. 70,000 chairs were put up for rally but only 700 people turned up,” Channi said reacting to the incident.
The Congress has repeatedly claimed that the BJP is trying to get political mileage out of the incident where PM Modi’s convoy was seen stuck on a flyover as protesting farmers blocked the road to Ferozepur, where he was heading for an election rally.
