New Delhi: Displaying solidarity with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and making a political statement on the security breach during his visit to Punjab on Wednesday, BJP leaders tweeted pictures of the PM at Kedarnath with a long live Modi ji message while several, including Madhya Pradesh CM Shivraj Chauhan, held pujas for his well-being.
Ministers like Piyush Goyal and Bhupendra Yadav tweeted the Kedarnath pictures while many others referred to the PM calling on President Ram Nath Kovind and giving an account of the security breach in his convoy during his visit to Punjab. He spoke of the President offering his concern and best wishes.
The BJP clearly viewed the unprecedented lapse that saw the PM stuck on a flyover for 20 minutes as a very serious matter, given the Punjab administration and police being responsible for the arrangements and also took note of the disparaging tone of Congress's statements as something that needed vigorous rebuttal. There was concern that the incident could be replicated elsewhere and strong signal of disapproval needed to be sent out.
