Thank your CM, at least I reached Bathinda airport alive: PM to officials over security lapse
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, upon his return to Bathinda airport, told officials, “Apne CM ko thanks kehna, ki mein Bathinda airport tak zinda laut paaya.” (Thank your CM that I returned to the Bathinda Airport alive).
PM Modi's cavalcade was stuck on a flyover in Punjab on Wednesday for nearly 20 minutes due to farmers blocking the flyover. The PM's cavalcade was stuck on the flyover and private cars could be seen approaching the cavalcade, which was a major security lapse.
It is alleged that the Punjab government failed to deploy additional security to secure any movement by road.
He proceeded to travel by road after necessary confirmation of security arrangements were made by the DGP Punjab Police," the MHA said.
PM Modi was slated to go to the National Martyrs Memorial at Hussainiwala by helicopter. But due to rain and poor visibility, it was decided that he would travel by road, which would take more than 2 hours.
