The BJP leader expressed the hope that J&K Government will also provide foolproof security to the party’s Prime Ministerial candidate during his rally here and extend its full cooperation in this regard to Central Government. He made an appeal to the Government that in view of the threat perception Mr Modi be provided a special security.
Mr Nadda said that BJP is monitoring the security arrangements and in case it comes to know about any shortcomings in this regard, the party will intimate to the Government about the same.
Admitting that the space will fall short at M A Stadium for Modi’s rally, Mr Nadda said that there is a lot of public enthusiasm and large number of people will attend the rally.
