Lok Sabha polls: PM Modi holds mega roadshow in Puri, Sambit Patra by his side
Monday, 20 May 2024 Prime Minister Narendra Modi conducted a roadshow in Puri, Odisha, on Monday morning, accompanied by BJP candidate Sambit Patra. Patra, who was defeated in the 2019 election by Pinaki Mishra of the Biju Janata Dal (BJD), is running again this year, facing off against Congress' Jaya Narayan Patnayak and BJD's Arup Patnaik. The event drew large crowds of BJP supporters, who lined the route and gathered on terraces, waving Modi posters and BJP flags.
Sambit Patra, BJP's Lok Sabha candidate in Odisha's Puri seat, sparked controversy by proclaiming "Lord Jagannath is Modi's devotee" after a rally with PM Modi. Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik condemned the statement, calling it an insult to Lord Jagannath and Odia pride. Patra apologized, citing a "slip of the tongue" due to heat. The incident underscores the sensitivity of mixing religion and politics.

Former President Donald Trump narrowly escaped an assassination attempt during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where Thomas Crooks fired five shots from an AR-15 rifle from a 120-yard distance. The incident highlighted critical security lapses compared to the SPG protocols for India's PM Modi, which include limited exposure and thorough sweeps. Footage revealed disorganised Secret Service personnel, insufficient Bullet-resistant shields, and Sniper protection. This event recalls the assassination of Japan's former PM Shinzo Abe and underscores the urgent need for a comprehensive review of security measures for political candidates.
