Modi moving like a cyclone, today in Bihar villages (updated)

Patna, 2 November 2013

BJP prime ministerial candidate Shri Narendra Modi on Friday night reached Patna in Bihar at around 11.05 pm. Modi has been given unprecedented security cover this time. More than 1,000 cops are protecting him.

With a convoy of 42 cars, Shri Modi in a white ambassador reached state govt guest house.

Modi is visiting families of six blasts victims. His visit is titled as ‘Santwana yatra’. All six were killed in serial blasts during Modi’s Hunkaar rally on October 27. BJP has declared all of them martyr, and their asthi kalash yatras are underway.

Shri Modi will present Rs. 5 lakh cheque to each family of those killed.

Modi took dinner in plane yesterday evening. He will most probably take lunch today in chopper.

Modi’s helicopter flight was delayed due to dense fog with visibility only 300 mt till 8.40 am against required measure of 600 mt. He could proceed only at around 9.00 am. His yatra was thus started at least two hours late.

Modi will first reach Kamarji(Gaurichak) to meet family of Rajnarayan Sinh(65), later Kaimur to meet family of Vikas Kumar Sinh(28). He will reach Gopalganj to meet family of Munna Srivastav(35). He will also visit Supol in the afternoon(Bharat Rajak,59) followed by Begusaray(Bindeshwari Chaudhary,55) and Nalanda(Rajesh Kumar,28) visits.

As per original programme, Shri Modi was scheduled to return to Patna airport at around 4.10 pm and leave for Ahmedabad.

Updates:

Modi’s chopper couldn’t land at Gopalganj due to fog. He returned to Patna and spoke to martyr party supporter’s widow on phone. He assured that his party will take care of the family. The widow asked Narendra Modi to take care of her daughter Sonakshi.

Modi later reached Nalanda to meet the family of blasts victim Rajesh Kumar.

Speaking to media persons at Patna Shri Modi said: The way the people of Bihar behaved in the midst of bomb blasts, is a testament to their courage. There was no stampede depite the blasts at the rally. I salute the courage of the people who were present at the rally ground. I congratulate the people of Bihar for the courage and patience they have shown, even after the blasts took place, they maintained calm. I have come to share pain and grief of the kin of blast victims. Due to bad weather conditions I was unable to meet two families who lost their loved ones, but will meet them in future. I wish all my Bihari brothers and sisters a happy Diwali and greetings for Chhath Puja.

Solid support of people to Modi’s Santvana yatra

Official release: “Sacrifice of innocent martyrs of the Patna serial blast won’t go waste” – Narendra Modi

Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi, who flew to Patna Friday night, set out early Saturday morning for the remote areas of Bihar to reach out to the bereaved families of the innocent victims of the terror-like serial bomb blast that took place during the Hunkar rally at Patna last Sunday.

Instead of attending any other programme or public function, Mr. Modi made it a point only to meet the bereaved families of the bomb blast at their homes to express his heartfelt sympathy. He assured them that the sacrifices of the innocent martyrs won’t go waste.

They are late Bharat Rajak of Simrahi village in Supaul district, late Rajesh Kumar of Ahiapura Mushahari in Nalanda district, late Raj Narayan Singh of Kamarji village in Patna district, late Vikas Kumar Singh of Nishija village in Kaumur district, late Munna Shrivastav of Dhanesh village in Gopalganj district and late Vindeshwari Chaudhari of Taravariyapur village in Begusarai district.

However, after meeting families of two victims, Mr. Modi had to cancel the trip midway. He could not personally go to Gopalganj and Supaul due to bad weather, but consoled the bereaved families on phone after returning to Patna.

The Chief Minister was accompanied with Bihar’s veteran BJP leader Sushil Kumar Modi and BJP Bihar unit President Nand Kishore Yadav. Everywhere they went, the villagers from the surrounding areas gathered there to mourn the loss, befitting the solemn nature of the occasion. The villagers also thanked Mr. Narendra Modi for showing sensibility and humane side of the politician.

PET PIGEON MOURNS THE LOSS:

In a unique feature of the sad story, a remorseful pet pigeon which used to give company to one of the victims, late Bharat Rajak, when alive during meals and even sleeping time, accompanied Bharat Rajak’s funeral procession up to the cremation ground, Bharat’s said while talking to Mr. Modi on phone.
