Narendra Modi unlikely to attend Kumbh Mela

Ahmedabad: Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi is unlikely to attend the Kumbh Mela in Allahabad on February 12, apparently due to "security reasons", sources said today.

Earlier, sources had indicated that Mr Modi will be travelling to Allahabad on February 12 to take a holy dip at the ongoing religious congregation.

"There is a question mark on the visit of the Chief Minister to Allahabad now. It seems that the rethink is due to security reasons," they said.
