Finally BJP gets nod for Modi rally in Patna

Patna:  After strong protests from BJP, the Patna district administration gave permission to the party to hold a rally to be addressed by Narendra Modi in October in the entire Gandhi maidan.“There was some confusion


Former Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi had slammed the ruling party saying they have resorted to “unethical politics” by denying permission to opposition to hold a rally.  

He told PTI that the party had applied for permission for the venue in April when BJP and JD(U) were allies.  

Blaming Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for witch hunting of BJP after split in NDA, Sushil Modi said earlier the party was denied permission to hold public meeting at Miller School to be addressed by party chief Rajnath Singh in June.  

The rally venue was later shifted to a stadium in Gardanibagh.

He said BJP Legislators and workers were harassed by the state government by registering false cases against them and humiliating former ministers by asking them to vacate bungalows without making alternative arrangements for them.
