In his tweet, Shah said, what was seen in the state is “Congress-made” and a trailer of how this party thinks and works.

Modi’s visit to Punjab was canceled as he was stuck on the flyover for 20 minutes due to the blockade by the protesters.

Addressing a press conference in Delhi, Union Minister Smriti Irani accused the Congress of giving political patronage to the political means imposed by the party’s government in Punjab to breach Modi’s security.

“Never before in the history of our country has any state government deliberately created a scenario where the Prime Minister of the country can be harmed,” he said.

Hitting out at the Punjab government, he alleged that police personnel were “directed to breach the security of the prime minister and cause bodily harm to him”.

In a series of tweets, Nadda sought to put the state government in the dock over its alleged lapses.

“The protesters were allowed to walk up to the Prime Minister’s route, while the CS (Chief Secretary) and DGP of Punjab assured the SPG that the route was clear. To make matters worse, Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi refused to speak on the phone or call to resolve it. The tactics used by the Congress government in Punjab will hurt anyone who believes in democratic principles,” he said.

Nadda alleged that the state police was directed to stop people from attending Modi’s rally and a large number of buses were stuck due to the police’s arbitrariness in collusion with the protesters.

BJP national general secretary Tarun Chugh, who hails from Punjab, said what happened in the state was a matter of shame for the Channi government.

He alleged that Channi and Punjab Congress chief Navjot Sidhu had joined hands with subversive and anti-national forces to thwart the democratic right of the Prime Minister and the BJP to address public meetings.

Union Minister Piyush Goyal said, “It is shameful that all this happened under the nose of the state government which deliberately let down its guard.” “Congress is clearly behind this incident along with senior party leaders like Rahul and Sonia Gandhi Do not condone security violations,” he alleged.

In fact, it is playing with national security.” BJP General Secretary (Organisation) BL Santosh said, “The politicization of administration and police has reached a new low in Punjab today under Congress rule. After the Emergency in 1975, it has Today another serious mistake has been made. Hon’ble Prime Minister’s security was played with.
