Meanwhile, Punjab Minister Rajkumar Verka refused the allegations that Prime Minister’s life was under threat. While talking to the media, Verka said, “There were no shortcomings in the security arrangements during the PM’s visit to Punjab today. The accusations of a security breach are baseless. The truth is that BJP’s rally was a flop show. When PM got to know this, he decided to return”.
