The BJP had applied for an alternative site but later spurned the permissions given to it hold a rally in another place. But the party insisted on holding it only in Beniabagh and turned all its guns on the EC.
Modi told the Congress that people have decided to defeat the party and “EC cannot make you win”.
On the security reasons cited for denial of permission, he said the government need not worry about his security as he was ready to die for his country.
“Still, it is an attack on my democratic rights. Should I not get rights that every other candidate is entitled to get. I have been denied permission to meet mother Ganga too,” he said, while promising to come back for Ganga pujan soon.
He claimed he was being targetted for last 14 years and even CBI has been left after him.
