Will PM Modi attend Chhath Puja in Bihar?
Putting an end to all the rumours about PM Modi attending this year's Chhath Puja in Bihar, the BJP state president has made it clear that the Prime Minister will not be in Bihar on the occasion of Chhath Puja.
When asked about the possibility of PM Modi participating in Chhath Puja celebrations, Jaiswal said the Prime Minister has no plans to attend the festival this year due to security concerns and to avoid inconveniencing the public.
Jaisawal said, "Since there is a matter of security, to ensure that common people celebrating Chhath do not face any issues, he has no such programme on Chhath. He wanted to come, but the common people celebrating Chhath would face inconvenience. So, there is no such programme," as per ANI.
