Chaos at Narendra Modi rally in Gaya, shoes thrown at cops

Gaya, Bihar: Chaos erupted at Narendra Modi's rally in Gaya, Bihar today, minutes before he arrived.

The trouble reportedly began when crowds surged into an enclosure meant for the media.

The police failed to manage a large crowd that tried to push through barricades and even broke some of them.

Shoes, bottles and stones were hurled at the police. The police had to use batons to control the crowd.

The commotion continued till Mr Modi started addressing the crowd, which then started cheering.

In October, a series of bombs exploded just before Mr Modi was to address a rally at Patna's Gandhi Maidan.

The BJP's prime ministerial candidate went ahead with his speech despite being asked by security agencies to cancel the rally.
