Fadnavis govt trims security of top Cong, NCP politicians

December 29, 2014 22:09

In a bold move, Devendra Fadnavis-led BJP government has decided to downgrade security of top politicians of Congress and NCP and their kin, including former chief minister Prithviraj Chavan and his the then deputy Ajit Pawar.

The decision is based upon the "reduced" threat perception to these leaders. "A high-powered committee, set up under Chief Secretary to gauge the threat perception of politicians, has decided to downgrade the security currently being given to some politicians because their threat perception has decreased," Ram Shinde, minister of state for home told PTI.
