Deputy CM made to stop campaign speech
Modi was to address the meeting at Turkaulia to canvass for Krishnanandan Paswan.

Motihari: Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi had to abruptly stop his campaign speech at Turkaulia in East Champaran district and move to another venue as authorities demanded to see the permission letter for holding the meeting at a school ground on Wednesday.

Modi was to address the meeting at the grounds of a government high school at Turkaulia to canvass for BJP nominee Krishnanandan Paswan and had arrived as per schedule by helicopter from Patna.

Block Development Officer Ram Pravesh asked Paswan to show the permission letter from the authorities for holding the meeting during the school hours.

Modi had to move to another venue while Paswan's agent Anil Rai turned up with the permission letter from Areraj sub-divisional officer V K Pandey before the deputy CM was allowed to continue his speech.

Pandey later told PTI that he had cancelled the permission granted for the meeting on the ground that no meeting could take place during school hours and informed Modi of it at the venue.

The notification cancelling the permission granted to Modi for holding the meeting had failed to reach the BDO, he said.

"Modi heard me patiently and stopped his speech. He then took off to another venue for campaigning," Pandey said.

What's your reaction?
