Security beefed up ahead of Modis rally in Pune
November 01, 2013  14:17
The security personnel have made tight security arrangements for BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi's rally in Pune today against the backdrop of Sunday's serial blasts in Patna.

According to reports, Modi, who will arrive here around 1.30 pm, will be received by Maharashtra BJP chief Devendra Fadnavis.

Several other senior Maharashtra BJP leaders will also be present at today's rally.

Six people were killed and 83 injured in the low intensity blasts that rocked Patna between 9.30 am and 12.45 pm on Sunday shortly before Modi's address to a 'Hunkar rally' in Gandhi Maidan.

However, the BJP had accused Nitish Kumar-led Bihar Government for failing to provide adequate security for Modi''s Patna rally.

BJP spokesperson Nirmala Sitharaman said that Modi is a serious target of many terror groups, and added that the Bihar police have completely failed in ensuring proper security arrangements.
