The Punjab Chief Minister alleged that PM Narendra Modi's "life threat gimmick" was aimed at "toppling a democratically elected government" in the state.
Facing flak from the BJP over the "security lapse" during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Punjab visit, Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi on Thursday alleged that PM's "life threat gimmick" was aimed at "toppling a democratically elected government" in the state.
Mr Channi further said the prime minister is a respected leader of the nation but it does not behove a leader of his stature to indulge in "such cheap theatricals".
He was addressing a gathering in Hoshiarpur after laying the foundation stone for development works worth Rs 18 crore at the New Grain Market, an official statement said.
The chief minister claimed there was no threat to PM Modi's life and he cancelled his programme on Wednesday because of less number of people in the BJP's rally at Ferozepur.
