District administration officials said BJP workers claimed that posters
and hoardings put up for Modi’s rally were torn and replaced with banners
projecting Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and carrying slogan ‘We won’t be
deceived and will ensure victory for Nitish’.
The JD(U) workers were quick to rebut the allegations and
claimed that BJP workers had pulled down their posters and replaced them with
posters of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Gaya District Magistrate Sanjay Kumar Agarwal said, “We have
received poster and hoarding related complaints from two places. There are
claims and counter claims by workers of two political parties. We are probing
the matter and necessary action will be taken.”
Meanwhile, intensive checking of incoming and outgoing vehicles
is being conducted at various checkpoints.
The Gaya DM said that over 2,000 police constables and 1,000
magistrates and police officers have been deployed especially on rally duty.
The security arrangements are apart from the inner circle security provided by
Special Protection Group to the Prime Minister. Traffic plan of the city has
been strengthened.
“We have rehearsed the carcade movement today. 10 new gates have
been made at Gandhi Maidan rally venue to deal with crowd. Earlier, there were
just three gates. CCTV cameras have been mounted at vantage points. Metal
detectors have been installed at the gates. Everything will be 100 per cent
ready by today evening,” Agarwal added.
Modi is expected to arrive in the afternoon to address the rally
and fly out of the city after it ends. This is his second visit to Bihar in
last 20 days. He had earlier visited Patna to launch several central government
schemes and facilities on July 25 and had addressed a political rally at
Muzaffarpur in North Bihar.
