A major security breach was witnessed live during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's roadshow when a young man got too close to the PM and tried to give him a garland before being pulled away by security personnel.
A video of the incident is going viral on social media in which a young man in a orange shirt can be seen breaking the security cordon.
He managed to get right up to the PM's car and give him a garland before the security personnel managed to grab him and take him away.
Why is PM Modi in Hubballi?
The Prime Minister was in Hubbali to open the 29th National Youth Festival and was holding a roadshow from the airport to the Railway Sports Ground, where the festival was held on National Youth Day, which is celebrated on the birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda.
The Prime Minister said that the future of India is in the hands of the youth and asked them to honour and cherish the ideals, teachings and contributions of Swami Vivekananda.
However, many see this programme as part of the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP’s) elaborate campaign in the run-up to the Assembly elections that are due in a few months. Earlier, Union Home Minister Amit Shah had stormed the Vokkaliga belt in the Old Mysuru region with a series of rallies.
