Patna: When Narendra Modi arrives in Patna this evening, the security organised for him will be unprecedented in the 64-year-old's political career, and similar to what is arranged for the Prime Minister.
On Sunday, Mr Modi addressed a massive rally in Patna after a series of bombs exploded in and around the venue, killing seven people and injuring nearly 80. The BJP's candidate for prime minister was unharmed; tomorrow, he will visit the families of those who died.
He will spend the night at a heavily-guarded government guest house.
Instead, the union government has upgraded his security considerably by ensuring that when Mr Modi visits a state, the local police and government will coordinate closely with the Intelligence Bureau to arrange the route his convoy will take and sanitise the venues of his meetings. Every minute of Mr Modi's itinerary will be documented in writing by the police of the state that's hosting him and will be monitored by officials from the state government and different agencies including the Gujarat government and the Intelligence Bureau.
The Bihar police and government, headed by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, have been attacked by the BJP for major security lapses for Mr Modi's rally last weekend. They have denied the charges of "gross criminal negligence."
