Now, Bihar govt to have Modi as state guest
1 Nov 2013 5:43 AM IST
Admonished for not providing adequate security to BJP’s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi during his rally in the state capital last Sunday, the Bihar government is going to extend him the status of state guest when he arrives in Patna on Friday. Modi will be on a two-day visit to meet relatives of the six killed in the serial bomb blasts before his Hunkar rally in Patna.
‘He is the CM of a state and will be accorded the honour of being a state guest and all protocol will be followed,’ principal secretary to the cabinet coordination committee Brajesh Mehrotra said in Patna.
BJP leader Sushil Kumar Modi said the decision to accord Modi the honour was not extraordinary as being a CM, Narendra Modi was entitled to be treated as a state guest.
The former deputy chief minister, who was in Supual to launch Asthi Kalas Yatra after meeting the family of a blast victim named Bharat Rajak, said the state government should ensure foolproof security for Modi and not repeat the ‘lapses’ it had shown during Sunday’s rally in Patna.
