Maintaining his being heckled at an event in the presence of prime minister Narendra Modi was ‘pre-planned at a high level’, Maharashtra chief minister Prithviraj Chavan on Saturday said he will not attend such functions in future till he got an assurance that incidents like those will not recur.
‘All this would not have happened unless decided at a high level. He (Modi) will have to show how to behave with chief ministers at such events where CM is from opposition party. Before I attend such functions, we should get an assurance at the highest level that there won’t be a recurrence,’ Chavan said.
Chavan was booed at a function at Solapur last Saturday where he had to stop his speech midway amid repeated chants of ‘Modi! Modi!’. He had refused to attend a function in Nagpur with Modi on Thursday.
