Gujarat Chief Minister Shri Narendra Modi has called off his Kumbh mela visit. No official reason has been declared yet. Earlier an official communication on Modi’s 12 February Maha Kumbh visit was issued four days back.
According to sources close to this development, security issues are responsible for this decision. It is said that the intelligence services were not in favor of the idea of Modi visiting Kumbh mela due to security reasons. Even the Uttrar Pradesh state government was contrary to the idea for same reasons.
