Karnataka BJP holds pujas to ‘ protect’ Modi
By Vanu Dev in Bangalore
THE BJP feels that its detractors are casting an evil eye on the party’s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi in the wake of recent Patna serial bomb blasts that allegedly targeted him.
And the party’s Karnataka unit is making all efforts to ward off “evil spirits that are working against his upcoming Bangalore rally”. On Friday, a host of state BJP leaders descended on Palace Grounds in Bangalore — the venue of Modi’s November 17 rally — to “ cleanse” the place.
The leaders’ brigade led by Karnataka’s former deputy chief minister and BJP leader R. Ashoka performed a series of pujas, including Gana homa , Mruthyunjaya homa and Subramanya homa at the venue. [. . .].
